Innocent Until Predicted Guilty
theodp writes "Gizmodo has an angry piece on IBM helping Florida to predict how delinquent your child's going to be. The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has decided to start using IBM predictive analytics software to help them determine which of the 85,000 kids who enter their system each year poses the biggest future threat. From IBM's sales pitch: 'Predictive analytics gives government organizations worldwide a highly-sophisticated and intelligent source to create safer communities by identifying, predicting, responding to and preventing criminal activities. It gives the criminal justice system the ability to draw upon the wealth of data available to detect patterns, make reliable projections and then take the appropriate action in real time to combat crime and protect citizens.'"
This way everytime a crime is committed we would have the location of the persons involved and only blind people could not be trace... unless you buy eyes in the black market from a Japanese but then three psiques teaming-up would be able to predict... er.. wait a minute.

Oh wait, you're probably not one of his constituents so you think it is perfectly okay to comment on something happening in a place where your sense of "fairness" is offended.
Not to mention the idiotic San Francisco "sanctuary city" policy that lets hard criminals go free, because they're illegal aliens, to go on and murder people then say "oops sorry my bad" later.
Of course if you're one of those "Liberal Bleeding hearts", you'll make some stupid excuse as to why illegals are exempt from obeying the laws; probably using the "oppressed" label.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
... just like our models of markets.
Hey I've got an idea! No citizens, no problem. or put EVERYONE in jail, there's nothing safer than being behind bars.
Never say never. Ah!! I did it again!
After all, if you could run IT atop a Linux system should we oppose IT since IT would enable the tracking technology?
Please keep your pronouns to a single referent. You've got three 'it's with two different things you're referring to. Stop it. Thank you.
