It's quite likely there will be at some point a technology that allows us to access peoples memories, but hypothetically speaking say there is now. Do you think it would be legal or ethical to be used in court? For example if something looks like murder but the accused maintains it was self defence, do you think it would be morally ok, consent or not, to scan the accused memories and find the truth? And let's say with pinpoint accuracy rather than scanning their whole memory so they can go right to when the act happened. I'm not sure that would ever be approved from a legal standpoint, privacy issues and all but personally if such a technology existed I think it should be allowed. |

there'd me massive ethical uproar as to what else it could lead to, but based on your hypothetical scenario i guess that would be a red herring... so if it worked the way you described -- being able to access a specific memory and nothing else -- then yeah personally i think it should be allowed. |

You know, with the NSA getting away with wiretapping peoples phone calls, emails, etc, I think it's very likely that the goverment would get away with doing somehing of this nature. People would be outraged for a while but then they would go about their business the next day. I like to call it the Matrix effect. "Privacy and the 21st Century are like Water and Oil." Me

Oh yeah it would most certainly be used to invade peoples privacy illegally, 100% certainly. But in court/general law I think it would be fine, like if some serial killer has kidnapped a 5 year old girl, why the hell shouldn't they find where he hid her? Other than that kind of thing it should be consensual, if they refused then they obviously have something to hide so that's a mark against their case anyway. At least it would pretty much end criminals getting away with things and also people who genuinely didn't commit the crime getting put in prison. Like that guy who was in prison for 32 years for something he didn't do, that's practically half his life that kind of s*** shouldn't happen. As long as they didn't advance it to being remote memory access and it had to be some kind of headgear I guess they couldn't really invade your privacy. But scientists would find a way to make it remote eventually... It would probably make the world more peaceful too at least in civilized places anyway since if you commit a crime it's not like you could hide it. But then again people could end up starting wars over it. |

I think it would be cool for personal use. For legal proceedings its use would need to be heavily limited. Like if it was to be used for evidence then only the specific time in question would need to be viewed like you said. As far as the idea that if they don't consent they have something criminal to hide goes....not really. They might just have been doing something at that time they'd rather not have people see. Might not be illegal though. |

imagine if whatever machines they used to read memories aren't able to distinguish imagination and real events, lol.

Usually with things that require consent in criminal proceedings, you can't make those kind of implications. For example, people who are accused of a crime cannot be forced to give a testimony in court but can do so if they want to. So if someone chooses not to, the prosecution can't make an argument based on that. Also it takes a while for technology like this to be admitted in to evidence, DNA for example took a pretty long time to be accepted and polygraph's aren't accepted. But assuming the science to do it was completely perfect, then I guess it'd be fine. |

Yeah, its created an then a soldier knowing very important information and you're screwed. If terrorists got their hand on such a device, it would be very bad. But if the good countries could have it, then yes for crimes. But if it were to be used for anything else bad things would happen. |
