The program scoured billions of data points, including arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep Web searches and the man’s social- media postings. It calculated his threat level as the highest of three color-coded scores: a bright red warning

They could dial up 800 more feeds from the city’s schools and traffic cameras, and they soon hope to add 400 more streams from cameras worn on officers’ bodies and from thousands from local businesses that have surveillance systems.

My main question kind of comes from the opposite side - if the guy threatening his ex-girlfriend hadn't had a record of violence, would the police have mounted an adequate response?

"Sorry, lady, we can't help you. Your ex-boyfriend has a perfect Citizenship Score."

Likewise, would his ethnicity count towards or against a certain response? His economic class? What about hers?

Adapting law enforcement responses to the people involved, instead of the situation reported, seems to me like an extremely dangerous road to go down. I don't like this at all, on a lot of levels.
