The thing is, you should. It's regrettable that today in this "enlightened" age with such astonishing technology we refuse the agency of certain groups of people for the convenience of political narratives.

This article blows my mind. At no point did she consider that these people could actually be responsible for their actions and that what was happening to her was the result of someone repeatedly violating the law and refusing to deal with the consequences. The real problem here is obviously the incredibly flawed use of name + DOB as a unique identifier, but the author doesn't focus on that and instead delivers what really feels like a racist lecture about how this entire situation is the result of some kind of systemic injustice against a whole group of people just for the color of their skin.

While I doubt it's quite as "black and white" as the article insists, there's no doubt about differential enforcement: "The racial disparity persists even after controlling for precinct variability and race-specific estimates of crime participation.[6][7] Research suggests that stop-and-frisk had few effects, if any, on crime in New York City.[8][9]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-and-frisk_in_New_York_Cit...
