Police Database Lists 'Future Criminals'
Rio writes: "A Local6.com article tells us about a database that contains a list of people who police believe are likely to break the law. It features names, addresses and photographs of potential suspects --many of whom have clean slates. Since the system was introduced in Wilmington in June, most of the 200 people included in the file have been minorities from poor, high-crime neighborhoods."
>Soon they are going to have tabs on if we wash our hands in the bathroom...
Well, you're supposed to wash them anyway, so why are you afraid? Oh, I see...
Just get a list of current government officials. You can't get possible criminal list with better odds then that.

A Harvard man and a Yale man are at the urinal. They finish and zip up. The Harvard man proceeds to the sink to wash his hands, while the Yale man immediately makes for the exit.
The Harvard man says, "At Hah-vahd they teach us to wash our hands after we urinate."
The Yale man replies, "At Yale they teach us not to piss on our hands."
We could save a whole lot of trouble by having everyone chained up and electronically monitored at birth. We could most likely achieve a zero percent crime rate. We've just got to find someone that everyone trusts to monitor the system and administer electric shocks to those suspected of contemplating bad thoughts. Someone pure of heart. We better get voting, ideally using some of those ultra secure secret electronic voting machines..

These police are amateurs. My money says 90% of those in the database are *actual* criminals, having managed to violate the DMCA one way or another.

IMO, if these people are being treated as criminals without actually committing a crime, they might as well commit crimes. I don't know about you, but if I were singled out as a potential criminal, my first order of business would be to remove all doubt by killing everybody dear to the person that lets this continue.

I would best most of those CEO's don't live in high crime areas

./ has already done this. (see poll) Dont think they dont trace post submission IP addr to ISP. Before long it will be commonplace for a business to be able to force an ISP to reveal who their customers are. They will soon be coming for you, you filthy bastard!!
Or just send them your "ass pennies".
"this violates a persons right to be free from warantless searches"
Now we need protection from warrentless SELECTs!
ooh. Good poll idea. If only /. put real issues in the poll...
The war on drugs:
1)I support the current war on drugs.
2)I support the legalization of a few drugs.
3)I support the legalization of most drugs.
4)I support the legalization of all drugs.
5)I support cowboyneal's drugs.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
Whatever you say, Mister T^HButtle...

What if we grind up the criminals and feed them to the hungry? Two birds with one stone, ya know.
Hey kids, there's only 5 days left 'til Yak Shaving Day!
"Your honor, my client couldn't have committed the crime. The prosecution's forensic evidence says the crime happened at 0130h.
My client's ISP's billing records show that he was assigned IP address aa.bb.cc.dd from 2230 the previous night to 0330 that morning.
The HTTP logs from www.goatse.cx show that a user at aa.bb.cc.dd transferred 1,327 images of h0t g04t pr0n from 2235 to 0320h.
My client may be guilty of poor taste in pr0n that's not what he's on trial for.
And if I may add, Your Honor, one look at the spams you no doubt get every day, and you'll conclude that the rest of the country's taste in pr0n isn't that great either.
The defence moves that the Court order the prosecution to remove its head from the goat's ass. The defence rests."
And post with your full name, address and social security number.
Thank you!

But don't worry - when you grow up, you'll support the arrest of drug dealers too.
Hm, at what point in the "growing up" process is the stick implanted in your ass?
