What makes movies like Minority Report so gripping is the feasibility. Pre-crime, the predictive crime fighting unit at the center of the Tom Cruise-helmed film was a terrifying prediction until it became a reality. According to Digital Trends, Cortica is an Israeli company that recently partnered with Best Group in India to analyze video feeds from closed-circuit televisions in public places. By applying artificial intelligence to the surveillance systems, the company thinks that it can look for "behavioral anomalies" to be able to identify people about to commit a violent crime. The software is based off of government systems that track micro-expressions to predict terrorist activity. According to Digital Trends, Best Group is only going to use the software to monitor and improve safety and efficiency in public places. However, it could one day be deployed in drones and satellites to not only track individuals, but monitor groups of people. For example, it could give law enforcement a heads up that a peaceful protest is about to turn into a riot. You know, you can only ask, 'what do I have to hide?' for so long before you realize that you’re always being watched
