I guess UK and US governments viewed Minority Report as something to strive for rather than a cautionary tale?
Well, they started with Orwell's 1984, but that was 42 years ago and you can do so much more with technology now!
First the US isn't mentioned in this article. Second this is NOTHING like Minority Report. Your comment is dumber than a bucket of hair.
I never said it was? It's called a comparison? Sorry I didn't know invasive police surveillance was a good thing.
I just block people who hurl unprovoked insults.
