Somehow I missed that New Orleans had a secret partnership with Palantir for predictive policing starting around 2012 that was kind of revealed as a big scandal in 2018.
Allegedly this has nothing to do with that... Allegedly... Absolutely nothing.
I just saw that making the rounds today as well. Felt like one of those "we know this won't be accepted so we'll hope we don't get caught until it doesn't matter" moments.
