Tracking people walking through malls. Or even better: tracking everyone in the sidewalk of a NYC street after they commit a crime and where they end up at.

That only catches the stupid criminals, which to be fair is most of them.

Not sure how many criminals that catches, but phones most certainly track everybody.

Ah yes, tracking everyone. The one system that only leads to good outcomes.
