The ah... essential qualifiers are highlighted in bold. Quote:
Let's look at a hypothetical scenario: A police officer on patrol spots a car that is weaving erratically. He turns on his lights and siren and follows the car. The car stops on the side of a street, upon which a person (the suspect) exits the car and starts to run away at top speed. The police exits his car and gives chase. After five minutes of running, the police corners the suspect in a dead end. The police pulls out his gun and aims it at the suspect. The police orders, in a clear and loud voice, for the man to put his hands in the air and turn around. The man turns around, but instead of putting his hands in the air, he reaches into his coat. At this point, many jurisdictions will allow the police officer to open fire on the assumption that the suspect will extract a deadly weapon. At this point, the suspect has certainly done nothing that would earn him a capital sentence or life imprisonment in most jurisdictions. Let's continue the hypothetical. Suppose the police does not shoot immediately. The suspect then pulls from his coat a pistol. At this point, the vast majority of jurisdictions will allow the police officer to open fire on the assumption that the suspect will shoot the police officer. At this point, the suspect has certainly not shot the police officer yet, nor has he done anything to earn him a capital sentence or life imprisonment in most jurisdictions. It is commonly accepted for police officers to use lethal force based on what a suspect might do, so long as the circumstances give those impending actions a high probability of occurring. If Psycho-Pass can accurately add to the assessment of such impending actions, I see no reason not to use it in determining whether the police officers are allowed to use lethal force. Frankly, I am shocked at the number of people in this topic who appear unable to accept the idea that the safety of our police officers is more important than the safety of people who are about to commit violent crimes.

just for kicks....if a person like urobuchi gen, dio brando from jojo, or just try to think any other character you want to try...what would their reading be...
just think about it.... would it warrant paralyzer or go straight to lethal mode... my guess... Akane..: oh who's that...let's see his CC (reading Dio Brando that is passing them on the street) or (reading urobuchi gen sitting in the bench at the public park) Dominator : CC reading 9000, safety unlocked, Lethal mode initiated - aim carefully Akane : no way...this must be wrong...shinya? Shinya : eh..it's right..i dont think we need to wait for sybil judgement on this...SHOOT him !! P.S : oh yeah...some nice pic...what do you think..similar.. yes? (got that from forum next door) Last edited by whitecloud; 2012-10-15 at 02:42. |

Not even just the police, but other people in general. That one person can cause damage to multiple people, so its a lot more efficient to take that one threat out instead of creating more threats. This is the decision the computer guns come to.

No one would doubt the right of a military or law enforcement personnel to defend him or herself. But was that the issue here? Which proper officer would instead of allowing the victim to calm down, proceed to level a weapon and said victim and proceed to pull the trigger? That is a foolish aggravation of the situation....self defence everyone has a right to, but avoiding harming unnecessarily....That's why this system is screwed up. It doesn't allow that. It's either that or the enforcers just plain suck.

Psycho-Pass... it's a pun...Psychopath.
Society has grouped criminality with mental illness. Criminals and the mentally ill are disposed of, forcefully medicated, and killed for the "good of the public." The victim was traumatized by her rape and torture and the system that gauges mental health deemed her too mentally unstable to remain alive. I like this sort of scifi. Sane people do insane things to criminals and mentally ill in the name of maintaining peace and order (sanity). |

When it comes down to question of self-defence from the POV of the person being threatened it's rather clear cut.

Take the rapist,when he was detected with a high CC,a team wasn't sent right away,he was offered the choice to receive treatment,it's only when he refused that a team was sent. With what you're saying the woman wouldn't even be given that choice,she'd be brought in by force right away.

Gen was only writing stories... He can't be a murderer unless he REALLY kill someone, or murderous intent.(He just loves to write dark or SOL stories... and Fate series.) How about what if he sees Kenshiro from HnK? What will the Dominator think?
