Tracking people walking through malls. Or even better: tracking everyone in the sidewalk of a NYC street after they commit a crime and where they end up at.

  Ah yes, tracking everyone. The one system that only leads to good outcomes.

    Well, we know that tracking "everyone" would only lead to tracking a subset of everyone. A subset with a lot less money and power than those in charge of the tracking. Much like the guard or observer in the panopticon.

      It might cause people to carry WiFi jammers.

  Don't we have phones for that?
  • anonporridge 1y ago
    That only catches the stupid criminals, which to be fair is most of them.
    • palata 1y ago
      Not sure how many criminals that catches, but phones most certainly track everybody.

        The CEO killer in NYC could have been tracked this way.
