I’m not referencing persecution, but surveillance. I’ll admit that it is a gray area. But dubious or outright false criteria are used all the time until a court orders the police to stop. As for “putting more patrol cars in high-crime neighborhoods,” that is somewhat different IMO because a high-crime neighborhood actually commits more crime (assuming accurate reporting). But, for example, “plays violent video games,” is a meaningless statistic with no correlation to reality.
