They targeted them for enhanced policing.

So a lot of these kids, and they were children, many of them teenagers, who this sheriff's office was going and following them, knocking at their doors day and night, where are you, where have you been?

Sometimes they might catch a kid, in the case of the family I looked at, he had weed on him one time, and so he gets...

I think he had like a trace amount or something in a bag.

So it got thrown out, but he got put into like a juvenile detention center for so long that he had to drop out of school.

And this kept happening over and over again.

And he was never ultimately...

charged or convicted of a crime as part of this policing operation, but he spent so long in detention that he, like I said, he had to quit school because he had too much, you know, missed too many classes.

Then he starts kind of becoming friends with the kids in the detention center and, you know, and it really reshapes the course of his life.

Would he have ever been a criminal had this not happened?

If he had been able to say, finish school, maybe go to college.

We can't say, but there were so many people targeted like this.

Two of the subjects committed suicide.

Again, you can't draw any conclusions clearly, but it wasn't having good effects on people.

And ultimately, they had to ban that program as well.

Yeah, I think those two things you just said there actually go hand in hand.

I think that the reason it's so hard to predict is the reason why we have all these shows about prediction working so well.

I think it makes us feel safer, more comforted to watch something on TV where this out of control, the most terrifying thing you can imagine, say, you know, being the victim of a serial killer or something.

You have these guys with this special power who can

find, you know, they can get to the heart of these, these criminals, they can capture them, you know, what no one else can do.
