From that experience emerged one of the country's most advanced police-reform efforts: the New York State Identification and Intelligence System. Set up in 1963, the system is run by Robert J. Gallati, a former New York City assistant chief police inspector and holder of four law degrees. Gallati's goal is nothing less than the computerization of all crime data now scattered among the state's 3,636 law-enforcement agencies...
...takes seven days and ten clear fingerprints for police in one section of New York to identify a suspect from another part of the state. Gallati plans to convert all fingerprints into mathematical formulas and store them on magnetic tape along with all data on personal appearance and every crook's modus operandi (working methods). With only one or two fingerprints, telephone-linked computers can then "search" police files across the state, yielding positive identification from hundreds of miles away in only two hours...
...Brother. One of Gallati's liveliest ideas involves the state's 40,000 stolen cars (one out of every 300 on the road). While 90% are recovered, the police rarely catch the thieves. Solution: all "wanted" license numbers will be stored in a central computer, which is telephone-linked to ten electronic analyzers stationed up to 450 miles away. Each analyzer in turn is linked to 40 TV cameras hidden behind toll booths, stop signs and traffic lights. As the 400 TV cameras monitor every passing license plate, the analyzers encode the digits and the computer compares them...
...this may sound like Big Brother, but even civil libertarians are convinced that Gallati's ideas will, in fact, safeguard rights by enabling police to distinguish between veteran crooks and first offenders. "If a quick check shows you have no record," says Gallati, "the desk sergeant will simply give you a summons to appear in ten days." For suspects with criminal records, on the other hand, the system will work like a one-way magic carpet-to the clink...
