Why shouldn&#x27;t we use statistical inference to deliver information that enables responders to be better prepared to deal with a situation? I would hate to be a false positive, but I&#x27;d rather have the chance of being flagged as &quot;green&quot; when police are headed my way, rather than always being presumed to be a &quot;red&quot; as seems to be the case now. This seems like it would be the opposite of being presumed guilty until proven innocent, for most people.<p>And this isn&#x27;t surveillance: they aren&#x27;t collecting new information, just putting available data sources together. Unless deducing things from existing data is somehow surveillance?
