Interesting, so given your implementation only targeting light skinned "suspects" would using this be racist?

I don’t think so. It would target more skin tones as it became better at identifying suspects accurately. The aim is to reduce crime regardless who commits it. We have a system which can help on a subset but not another. Why should we ignore the potential only because we cannot deploy it against everyone?

It’s like saying, well, since we can’t successfully prosecute big bankers, well also ignore smaller fry bankers who are sloppier cuz it’s not fair to them.

In the end everyone but the criminals benefit. Eventually one hopes the system is well enough trained so it can be deployed for all skin tones.
