Deport anyone they feel like. Blame the app and “AI” when the damage is done.
The inaccuracy is a feature - if you want to really terrorise a population, add a bit of randomness to your violence.

Tool to give false confidence and absolve responsibility.
Kind of like hopping up Nazis on meth for the blitzkrieg.
