Looks Like Minority Report is Becoming a Reality!

Pre-Crime Technology To Be Used in Washington, D.C.
Law enforcement agencies in Washington D.C. have begun to use technology that they say can predict when crimes will be committed and who will commit them, before they actually happen.
The Minority Report like pre-crime software has been developed by Richard Berk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Okay – so if this works right – every freakin’ politician in the D.C. error should be behind bars!
The technology sifts through a database of thousands of crimes and uses algorithms and different variables, such as geographical location, criminal records and ages of previous offenders, to come up with predictions of where, when, and how a crime could possibly be committed and by who.
The program operates without any direct evidence that a crime will be committed, it simply takes datasets and computes possibilities. (emphasis is mine)
Well – I guess the good thing is that at least they aren’t using psychics living in freakin’ swimming pools.
Does this also mean that the “thought police” are going to arrest you? Guess what – I see that coming next -
Other forms of pre-crime technology in use or under development include surveillance cameras that can predict when a crime is about to occur and alert police, and even neurological brain scanners that can read people’s intentions before they act, thus detecting whether or not a person has “hostile intent”.
What other freakin’ evidence do we need in this country that government has gotten way out of control? George Orwell anybody?
What the hell happened to this country? I hardly recognize it any more.
