Have you seen the CBS program “Person of Interest“? If not, it is centered around a “government” computer system developed for surveillance of terrorists but was abandoned by the intelligence branch. Years later, the man who designed “the machine” took possession and uses the system in clandestine crime prevention/solving.
(One of the two stars in the TV series is Jim Caviezel as John Reese, who has also been featured in such movies as Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ“, Edmond Dantès in “The Count of Monte Cristo” and many others.)
