Risk scoring

Evidence rule

This page is public-interest research. An argument grade is not a court finding. A watchdog page describes the device. It is not proof a Nevada agency bought it or turned a feature on. A product description is not a Nevada practice. Agencies are not merged: the City of Las Vegas Department of Public Safety, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Clark County School District, the City of Reno, and the Nevada Department of Public Safety stay separate. A hotlist hit is not a confirmed crime. Legal review of this page is unverified.

What it does

Risk scoring assigns a number to a person that a model says reflects the chance they will be arrested or hurt. The inputs can include past contacts, age, and address. The number can change who is visited or who is offered a program. EFF describes person-based scores as a claimed prediction, not as knowledge of the future.

Privacy watchdog concerns

  • Electronic Frontier Foundation. Predictive Policing. EFF says these programs feed historical crime data into an algorithm that points police at a place or a person, and that the loop can send more police to neighborhoods already heavily policed. EFF calls for bans. This is EFF’s claim. It is not a Nevada contract.

Constitutional issues

Unresolved question

Fourteenth Amendment

Warrant practice not established for a Nevada agency

Risk scoring: No Nevada risk score is documented. A score is not guilt. A Fourteenth Amendment question would require a record of how the score was built and used. That record is absent. No holding is applied.

No decision in this library decides a person-based risk score.

Statutes attached to read, not findings.

  • NRS Chapter 239. Nevada public-records law is the route to ask for contracts, policies, and logs. Citing it is not a finding that a surveillance practice is unlawful.
  • 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A civil remedy for a deprivation of federal rights under color of state law. It is not a warrant statute, and it does not itself make a surveillance practice unlawful.
