This is such a German judgement. So the police are using big data to predict who will commit crimes, which is sort of dystopian. But what the court finds unconstitutional about it is that they're using computers.
"Automated data analysis or interpretation requires justification under constitutional law."
I'm sure something is lost in translation. But even assuming a lot of context, I find it hilarious. Germany's highest court seems to have stumbled into avoiding a dystopia not because they don't want some biased ML model bullying minorities, but because they plain and simple don't like all this computer nonsense. (Grumble grumble.)
