> Edit: This is the 21st century. We're also not restricted to simply imprisonment. Other factors can be affected. It would be interesting if labels could be placed upon those who are suspect, like "suspicious". This could prevent certain purchases and types of travel which would make the kinds of crimes they are suspected of committing more difficult.
That sounds so dystopian
- not_a_cop75 7y agoYep. It's also dystopian maybe to disallow suspicious characters around playgrounds where they could kidnap and molest kids, but we do that already. And gun violence in America has already shown what happens when we don't take common sense measures such as this seriously. If you knew someone had a 50% chance of shooting up a Walmart, would you casually say "Well we don't know that fro sure." or would you make a list of all of those suspicious people and track them? We already have what is a dystopian credit scoring system, and I don't see people in a panic, or protesting in the streets, excepting for an occasional person writing that their data is used unfairly. I'm in agreement really. If people don't want their information used for a credit score, they should be able to refuse to have their info used for it, but of course that comes at the cost of not having good credit. Social credit scores could function quite similarly.
