You can’t have it both ways...
Safeguards that work 100% and laws that convict a certain group. Moreover, one of the safe guards is “equal protection” (14th Amendment) and if a Law on its face or in application is designed to convict a certain group that law would be declared unconstitutional.
If a Law is being challenged under the 14th Amendment, there are 3 levels of scrutiny:
1. Strict: race, national origin, religion, alienage
2. Middle tier: gender, illegitimacy
3. Minimum scrutiny: all other classes
As to your quote, I for one would love to see a class created based on socio-economic status which receives the highest level of scruitiny.
Nevertheless there are significant differences between our exisiting system of US law and the a unproven/untested social credit system. Maybe in time as it plays out one of us will change our mind.
