  How do you figure that’s worse than random? Randomly attempting to predict crimes would likely be 0% accurate. I’m not supporting predictive policing at all, just curious what brought you to that conclusion. This isn’t a 50/50 kinda thing.

    If you randomly selected a citizen as the culprit every time a crime was committed the only percentage of accuracy it wouldn’t be is 0%, because it’s inevitable you would be right at least once.

    would likely be 0%

    shut the fuck up lmfao all you gotta do is say the black dude getting out of prison headed to the halfway house is going to rob the cornerstore and you’re at 97-98%

    this dude just asserted 0% like he has a doctorate in predictive policing jsus chrst
