minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•5 months agoSo we need to know both the range and the false positive rate, as well as the response are they deployed so the only places in range of detection are non-white areas? is there a high rate of false positives that somehow is worse in non-white areas? is the response different in non-white areas vs white areas? does the response specifically target non-white people in the target area?
