The police technology intensifying racial discrimination

Advanced surveillance technology is already intensifying racial discrimination at police departments in the United States, and there's a good chance it's going to get worse. This is a fact well-documented by plenty of extensive reviews conducted by the Department of Justice that have unearthed a tremendous number of civil rights violations committed by officers against minority residents. What's less understood is how surveillance technologies employed by the police intensify the racially discriminatory strategies that already exist. Police use of captured cellphone data, social media monitoring tools, and facial recognition technology has already been called racially biased, and these technologies aren't likely to disappear from departments. One of the starkest examples of police using technology to compound racially biased policing comes out of Baltimore.
