It seems that there are databases of every aspect of our lives. Education, credit, taxes, property ownership, government records, grocery store purchases, phone bills, ATM payments and DMV records and that is to just name a few. Thru all this many law enforcement thinkers believe they can develop profiles of future perpetrators. Well could be, meanwhile the FBI is now allowing people into the agency who have smoked pot, an illegal drug. Which is saying that everyone is a real person, no one is perfect and therefore it is okay? Well if it is okay to be a human still in the present period, then why do they want to collect all this data?

One issue I find troubling in all of this is that we will be exposing people’s past? Well, let us also realize that the past and databases can be manipulated by those who wish to character assassinate others. And also realize that if the system is run by humans, then it will be abused by humans because it gives a smaller

group unlimited power and we know from observing the human endeavor that absolute power seems to corrupt absolutely.

Also realize that past data is compromised by bad data. For instance look at anyone's credit report, much of it is bogus data; garbage in garbage out. So can you trust past data? The answer is no, you cannot trust any data collected by humans. And you cannot trust humans, except me, to build a system to do such a thing or to run such a thing.

Although perhaps in the future we can build a system which we can trust and make it so that very few or no humans can manipulate the once made system, now then in this case we can have your utopian dream and a zero crime scenario. Those are my preliminary thoughts on this issue. Think on it and see if you come up with anything.
