The progressive idea of justice somehow keeps getting dumber

One of the first things my fiancé and I did after purchasing our first home was install a security system. This included a Ring-style doorbell camera that alerts us when people approach our front door and automatically starts recording video and audio. The resulting clips are saved in a mobile app and can be exported with ease.   Imagine my surprise when I learned this week that wanting to monitor my home is racist!  A new article in tech magazine WIRED says they don’t recommend Ring cameras because they supposedly make it easier “for both private citizens and law enforcement agencies to target certain groups for suspicion of crime based on skin color, ethnicity, religion or country of origin.”  How does WIRED think policing works, exactly?
