Metropolitan police waste money again. yep!, the same force that spent huge sums of money paying people to change light bulbs for them are at it again. This time they've spent a ton of money testing new software that studies peoples facebook posts and tries to work out who's going to commit offences in the future.
A few problems with that though. One like all software it'll be crap and get it wrong half the time. Two these people won't have committed any offence, so the police have no legal recourse until they do anyway (so they might as well have just waited) Three they don't have enough police as it is, so the few that they do have will now be chasing future crimes that haven't happened yet, and may never happen.
So what have we learned? That the police don't seem very bothered by crimes that actually happen now, get burgled and you might get a copper rushed there a week next Thursday. However if your reporting something that happened in 1975, or 2042 then they'll be straight around your house.
Bloody barmy or what!
