    Policing that amounts to creating criminals is itself criminal in nature. Giving over discernment to a black box that cannot be predicted or replicated is like using a uncalibratable tool, useless.

    This should be rejected outright and those involved and those who developed, and those who signed off should face the punishment they wish to inflict on others.
