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 :)
