    I’m not convinced they looked at anything. The AI sounded the alert and they peeled rubber.

      “Computer says” is enough confirmation for most people.

          Yeah, that’s the sketch that always comes to my mind when it comes to people in positions of authority and computers.

        Minority report had a specialist review the footage and present the case to three two witnesses who teleconferenced in and approved the arrest witnessed the investigation before sending in the troops.

        So this is not that dystopian cautionary tale. It’s worse.

        Edit: re-watched the intro. The witnesses watched, but the police arrested the perp on their own accord. One of the witnesses is a judge though. So I guess it’s a pretty well supervised process.
