So basically we're looking at a Minority Report type situation. Collect the data. Analyze it. Create profiles with personality traits and behavior prediction.

We already see camera data analyzed via gpgpu for everything from posture on the streets to customers in a store to guage ad and display effectiveness.

Why not predict the likelihood of criminal behavior? I forget the exact number, but if you're out on a Friday night with a burnt out license plate light, there's about a 20-30% chance that you are driving intoxicated.

There's definitely some good to be had from the analysis but at what cost?
