Do you struggle with the ethics of assisting in the arrest of, in my state, 90% minorities for a crime with dubious safety grounds?

- Noah_SannTek 7y agoThis is a really important topic, and we were hoping someone would bring it up. Our device is designed to output objective results to shift the burden of proof from subjective observation to the output of a device. We would expect the number of false positives to decrease as a result of our device. With that being said, we're also allocating a significant amount of our resources to have full-time employees, with lived experiences, research the implications of our technology on minority communities.
- jcomis 7y agoWhat a naive answer. A more perfect device is not preventing what OP is asking you.
- aianus 7y agoEither those people are breaking the law and driving impaired or not. If they are driving impaired, then the solution to the injustice is not to let them go, but to arrest more impaired white drivers. If they are not driving impaired, but being arrested based on the subjective opinions of the police officer, then this device can help their defense in court. Either way, I don't see how this device is making things worse.
