That's not a good thing folks. Have you seen the movie "Minority Report"? Here's the short overview and note one word that will rock you - watch for "Would-be..."
n April 2054
Washington, DC's prototype "PreCrime" police department prevents murders, via three clairvoyant humans ("Precogs") attached to a computer, who have an innate ability to "previsualize" crimes of extreme emotion and violence, before the offending suspect even begins the fatal deed. Would-be murderers are then imprisoned in a benevolent virtual reality state.
Almost all premeditated, 1st degree murder has ceased, as people have "got the message", however spontaneous "
crimes of passion" are still problematic, as the police have limited time to intercept the killer. The federal government is on the verge of adopting this controversial program nationwide.
