I'm not sure if you're aware, but this has actually happened

The TLDR is it drew major backlash from news orgs and the ACLU. Argument being that since number of arrests were included in the feature set, the model would reflect existing police biases. Kinda hard to build a crime prediction model without historical arrest data, though.
