Comment by Lindsey Barrett

This article will argue that the use of predictive policing algorithms at the border should not be barred outright, as the government should permit potentially beneficial uses of the technology to develop. However, use of these algorithms should be carefully limited by statute to prevent the wholesale trammeling of privacy and civil liberties. This article argues that the use of predictive policing programs should be limited, but not banned, in the border context. [...] Predictive policing cannot and should not be implemented without rigorous safeguards, but neither should its potential to improve law enforcement methods go wholly ignored.
