I think it's crazy that people are considering "linking previously unconnected automated databases and data sources in analysis platforms and permitting systematic access of data across sources through searches." as something like Minority Report. The truth is that Law Enforcement investigations are currently taking information from dozens of silos/databases, manually copy&pasting them into Excel and Word and then finally making a pdf or powerpoint to share the results. This is obviously a really inefficient way to do things and wastes a lot of taxpayer money. A technical solution that would allow LE to crosslink data they already have is a no-brainer. P.S: Very biased view, as I'm building/selling exactly this tool :)

> A technical solution that would allow LE to crosslink data they already have is a no-brainer. A technical solution that is Open Source, that falls under federally mandated criteria for how it can be legally used, that automatically documents any and all access and makes the entire audit log part of any output result so that all happenings are easily auditable by 3rd parties... might be a no brainer. Anything else I'm highly skeptical. If going after syndicated and or international crime, fine. First feature I'd like to see is linking Finanzamt with LE and go after money laundering - Germany being an absolute paradise to the detriment of everyone else. If it takes manual copy paste to protect ordinary citizens from overreaching police, I welcome that technical limitation. Very biased, as I am an ordinary citizen.
