Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

“In spite of a recent initiative to "increase public's access to BART crime data", they have in fact been reducing the amount of crime information they publish because of fear of racial sterotyping. While I agree with the notion that it would be a shame if racial biases are formed for any reason, I am of the firm belief that it is not BART's job to hide information from us. Nor is it their right.

BART has reduced their daily crime updates to a mailing list which requires approval. The information on this site is scraped from those daily emails and posted.

I created this site while sitting on BART for my daily commute back and forth from Fremont to San Francisco. I've seen a lot of crazy things on that commute, and I think security is in serious need of some attention. Particularly gate security. I'd venture to say a huge percent of the negative press BART is getting is by the same people I see hopping the fare gate every single day. Nothing is ever done about it.

I love BART, but I've had it with the overly-aggressive begging, bodily fluids, needles, and just plain garbage I see on a daily basis”

Liberals like to control public opinion by hiding inconvenient truth.

Why? It's a natural defense mechanism. I'd argue those biases are already there in 99% of people, they don't need to be created. They are just denied and sacrificed to the church of political correctness. I'd agree it's not barts job to censor the data, I'd go further and say it's their duty to report the full data. There will come the day when they will be getting sued for a wrongful death and it won't be cheap.

What if racial bias can save your life? Is it still wrong?
