>>1725851yes, i understand that the results themselves will lead to more profiling when you see one group commits more crimes so the police figure they should just specifically seek out that group to try to law enforce against because they will catch them easier.
this thread is about the subway and that's all im talking about. my anger about the fact that fare evasion is what causes literally all the person-caused problems on subways (homelessness, drug use, disruptive behavior like smoking/loud music/public urination/defecation, and most of all crime) and that subway systems dont seem to care at all about stopping it and therefore dont seem to care about protecting the system's riders. i dont care about the race of the people who are doing the fare evading, i just want it all to be stopped.
i am merely expressing my frustration that i have seen my area "attempt" to curb fare evasion and the people immediately break it down into racial groups and start screeching about racial bias rather than looking at the data as a whole, studying it, and determining the best way to curb it
and the most infuriating thing is that the answer is literally to just have a fucking police presence standing at the entrances of the stations where fare evasion is most prevalent, full stop. i don't need to see racial breakdowns of the fare evaders. race has nothing to fucking do with the fucking equation and doesnt even need to be fucking recorded. have data collectors at every station over an entire day for a certain period of time, record how many people come into the stations, and how many of them are fare evaders, and the worst offenders, put a regular police presence there.
