Police ‘futurists’ walk fine line between goals and liberties.

In the Information Age, law enforcement can’t get too much of a good thing, right? Data flowing from RFID chips, images streaming in real time from surveillance video, light or vibration readings taken by microscopic sensors called smart dust, unmanned aerial vehicles reporting locations … it’s all good. Or is it?

As with any technolgy advance there exists the potential to use it for good or for bad. This exists on both sides of the law as well. We must continue the dialogue as there are no easy answers.
