Over the course of the series, I have covered the rapid advancement
in the realm of science and technology that could only be seen in
Hollywood sci-fi films. There were many hints at the U.S. government
military arm DARPA developing high tech “defense” monitoring systems
that would help law enforcement keep an eye on the public. Although
many of these concepts have been introduced by Orwell, Philip K. Dick, and many other science fiction writers, it seems that the beginning of bringing this idea into reality has begun.
Two American states have started to implement “precrime” technology only seen in theMinority Report. Maryland and Pennsylvania are
utilizing “crime prediction software” to predict which freed prisoners
are mostly likely to commit murder with constant supervision. Although
the idea is to start with ex-cons, using the same technology on regular
citizens is not that far-fetched. This program is intended to replace
parole officers using computer algorithms to “decide” how dangerous the
ex-prisoner will be. With this program already underway in both
Philadelphia and Baltimore, Washington D.C. will sign on next to utilize the program. full story robertgraham.com
