There's a movie coming out in a few months about this very thing: "Minority Report".

Big brother is on its way. Watch til we hear that we need behaviour robotic monitoring cameras everywhere "For the children" And let's not forget to program the system to pay especially close attention to those "face-ID"ed as one of those disfavoured by whatever administration is currently in power.

Maybe we could place these in Congress to alert taxpayers over the Internet when they are about to do something undonsitutional.

"Minority Report", a movie about a "Pre-Crimes Unit", will be very interesting.

And what happens when the hackers get a hold of this technology?

Prior restraint. These incredible morons are actually going to try it. God help us all.

I saw a little blip on the cameras in and around London over the weekend, they were put in to deal with the IRA, something like millions of these cameras, average Londoner is caught on film 250+ times a day.
How many terrorists have they caught?
None.
If that doesn't raise flags, nothing will.

Screw the robot cameras predicting crime before it happens . . . I won't be happy until robot machine guns prevent crime before it happens!

The absurd, disturbing dystopia of 1984 becomes reality:
"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself -- anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called."
- 1984, Chapter 5
