A few considerations:<p>1) If these are good ideas and there is nothing wrong with them, than why does law enforcement keep them secret? Why don&#x27;t they advertise to citizens: &#x27;We track everything you do, including who you call, where you go, what you say online, and then we predict if you are a threat or not and respond appropriately. This makes you and the community safer!&#x27;<p>2) Does being black or Muslim, having far-left or far-right political views, increase or decrease your threat score?<p>3) Law enforcement has a very well-established history of using their power not for public safety, but to abuse and oppress vulnerable classes of people and people politically unpopular with the state (e.g., peace protesters). Just think of all the shootings, arrests, COINTELPRO, etc. etc. Why would this power be used any differently?<p>For example, many blacks already experience harassmet from law enforcement, including such things as pulling them over for &#x27;driving while black&#x27;, suspecting them of criminality for being in a predominently white shopping area, arresting them for no cause, etc. What will life be like for blacks on a police threat list? Will their life be constant harassment? Will the predicted threat be self-fulfilling because they will be arrested inevitably? Will corrupt police just plant something on citizens on the threat list and arrest them to preemptively get them off the street (and then tout the accuracy and value of the threat list)?<p>4) Police already are given the authority to shoot people based on suspicion or a feeling of threat. For example, someone putting their hand in their pocket or reaching for something in their car could be reaching for a gun. Will being on the threat list be justification for violence against citizens?<p>5) Aren&#x27;t we presumed innocent until proven guilty? Aren&#x27;t we to be judged by our actions and not what someone else thinks we will do? What happened to the land of opportunity?
