I think using machine learning for this purpose is equivalent to using stereotypes or intuition to make such decisions. The reason people don't want to use stereotypes is that we might end up in a positive feedback loop when stereotyped people get arrested for the things they were expected to do, not because stereotypes aren't effective. If it is illegal to do stop and frisk, we should not be doing machine learning where features come from intuition in the first place.
