Brain Scanning

Brain Scanning could be a valuable asset in solving criminal cases. Just as well as being an assest to the law officials it can also violate the privacy of others who are recieving the actual brain scan. So like everything else their are pros and cons to brain scans. On the pro side law officials can scan a suspect's brain, and determine if in fact that particular person committed the proposed crimanl act. This process will actaully cut the cost of the investigation process. All the investigation will be is actually scanning the brain of the suspect. This leads to the reduction of the trial process as well. Their will be no need for trial by jury any longer. With te results of the brain scan your either determined guilty or non guilty. On the con side it invades the privacy of the suspect in my opinion, but really doesn't matter because of the Patriot Act. They can listen into your phone calls, so why not just scan your brain. So the invasion of privacy issue is pretty much ruled out because they already have the right to do just about anything with the implimentation of the Patriot Act. Another reason it can be a good idea is to cut back, or even liminate innocent people that have been found guilty. All in all i feel it would be a good idea.
