I was listening to the Adam Carolla pod cast the other day, and he had an interesting idea about how criminal trials could be conducted in the future. His idea is based on the premise that, if brain scanning machines evolve so much that they can tell if a person is lying 99.6% of the time, then we could do away with a jury and judgement system. Simply use the suspect's scan evaluation as evidence of guilt or not. I think it is an interesting idea because it would almost certainly be a more accurate and efficient way of determining guilt or innocence, but it would come at the expense of possibly multiple infringements of rights. What issues would this method of judgement bring up in your mind?
