    So they are using it to try and decide on deployment?

    If that is all they’re using it for I guess it isn’t too bad. As long as it isn’t accusing individuals of planning to commit a crime with a zero evidence.

      It is probably going to be used to justify the disproportionate police attention paid to minority communities and to justify activities similar to stop and frisk.
