Quote: “We are surveilled so much I do not understand how we still have so much crime. They have minority report surveillance in place on all of us so why so much crime unless they want us killing each other.”
Consider if you will, WWII. We (Allies) captured some German Ultra encryption machines, from submarines, wrecked ships, etc., and used them to crack the German codes.
How was this information used? Very carefully. Often, things like air raids, etc. were allowed to happen unopposed, because if every air raid was intercepted, the Germans might get suspicious.
Other times, when intervention based on Ultra intel was necessary, plausible ‘coincidences’ were manufactured to provide a convenient explanation as to why a fighter squadron might appear here, or a fleet might appear there.
(In the Pacific, think ‘AF’ and Midway)
The fact that you haven’t seen this data used publicly doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, or that it’s not being used.
It means they’re using it very carefully and judiciously, and most importantly, saving it for when they really need it.
That they don’t appear to be using it currently could simply mean that these are not the crimes that they are interested in.
Go figure.
Thank you for that answer. Encouraging.
