Remember the film Minority Report?
Well the Vancouver Police Department has just made that fictional concept a reality for Canadians as they have just become the first police force in all of Canada to implement new crime prediction technology.
In this video
Dan Dicks of Press For Truth outlines the lies and contradictions displayed by the VPD as well as the obvious and not so obvious potential areas for abuse with this new technology.

Why can't the police go to a location where a crime is expected to happen and steak it out? To see if it actually happens. If it happens arrest the person if it doesn't then leave people alone. What if the criminal changes their mind and decides not to commit the crime they initally planned on commiting. They are taking a human beings free will away and arresting people on what could of been instead of what did happen.

I know in Norway police would often just "lock up" (in parenthesis because the rooms would be more like hotels) the worst criminals with the worst records of theft going into Easter holidays. because that would significantly lower theft in that period.
So guess it is already being done to a lesser extent :p

Talk about over sensationalizing...
They are not arresting people for being in the "wrong place at the wrong time". He said the arrests were for criminals who breached bail agreements etc. Lots of bail agreements state that you can't be carrying certain types of tools if you are a B&E offender etc. They are not going to arrest average Joe for wearing gloves on a cold night in an area where there was a "crime prediction".
This doesn't even seem that high tech or new. Police departments have been using predictive analysis for a very long time... Even before computers they used crime trends to determine where their officers should be dispatched. It sounds like they have just improved on the tech/algorithms.
I like your reporting for the most part but I really think you have a biased opinion on this one. I can obviously see how this type of tech could be abused.. but do you really not see that this could be used for good?

Anyways I am not denying it isn't real. I am in the tech sector. I know how these prediction algorithms work. It's not as fancy as you think. Just predictive pattern matching based on human behavior. Happening for a very long time but now they developed some fancy software to make it seem more advanced then it is.
Unlike you I have an open perspective for these types of technologies. The dangers that OP is alluding to are pretty far-fetched.

You're right
The problem is we have no way of knowing the preventive measures in place to ensure it will never be abused. Who is overseeing this like an ombudsman or 3rd party agency?
Too many people focus on the good, which eventually leads to abuse eventually. That's the problem.

Almost all sci-fi movies are just test beds for technologies they already have or they are working on. They give the ideas to the writers to incorporate into their scripts......then sit back and watch the public's reactions. This determines when the technology is released. If its a positive reaction, its released sooner. If its negative, they know the public needs more brainwashing......and when they are ready, its released then. We have a LOT of really scary stuff coming our way in the form of robots.

This is game theory. I think any arrest prior to a crime will be dismissed. What I do see happening in the future is the police staying undercover until just after the crime has happened and then going in for the arrest, which is a lot less "dark", to quote the police chief.

You cannot arrest someone before they commit crimes, they havent done anything yet.
This is a problem, and hopefully it doesn't become an accepted method of government control.
This is, in a word, tyranny. To arrest someone for nothing but suspicion - and not even suspicion of a past crime, but suspicion of a crime that is (supposedly) yet to come, is despotic.

I was dragged through the ringer for a year and a half "trial" right here in good old U.S. of A. for, effectively, a thought crime after a NYS entrapment check point set up outside a restaurant that sponsored my soccer team. I refused to admit 'guilt' for this victimless 'crime' and was rewarded with a felony for my compliant efforts. There were no illegal drugs involved, no trespass, no stolen property, no vilolation against any human of any kind.
The predatory police, power-mad judicial system and corrupt legal kabal all collude right here, every day, to drain our will, freedom and above all - our $$$. Ten years from now will be even scarier. . . be smart, be safe.
