I took a class called "crime trends and patterns," at the masters level back in 2009. It was clear that there is no way to prevent a biased person from making the data lie. And data that creates "high crime" or "drug trafficking" areas can be created by police deployment patterns. Eg. Racist police deployment justifies more racist police deployment.

In some states that might work, unfortunately, Georgia has defined "serious bodily harm" as including "extreme pain." But that definition doesn't apply to things cops do as long as those things have not been explicitly prohibited by at least an appeals court. (Qualified Immunity).

Especially a problem because the current standard that the Supreme Court has made for an INDIVIDUAL to sue for discrimination they must prove SYSTEMIC bias. State laws may be different, but if the state hasn’t changed it in favor of the citizen, that’s the default. Can’t remember the case name at the time, it was a black dude who got pulled over in Maryland,

Today where it seems very clear that "money can buy 'truth,' if you play lies enough on the TV", i actually think responsible spending of money is more effective than voting. Buy local from people who don't have the profit margins to give money to causes, or find big companies who share your ethics...if you can afford it.

I don’t feel like cops are any worse than they have been in the past 20 years, they just happen to be on camera more often now.
