# Enter the Dragnet | Logic Mag source : [Enter the Dragnet](https://logicmag.io/commons/enter-the-dragnet/) ## Notes - Palantir is building a system by which any law enforcement agency can look up records for people - Palantir’s system collects astronomical amounts of law enforcement data - Users can use Palantir’s systems to drill down to find people matching particular descriptions - All of the features of [[big data]] are being used on criminal and law enforcement data in Palantir’s systems - Systems are either query-based or alert-based - Automated license plate readers collect and store information on everyone, not just those under investigation - Palantir’s system allows for circumstantial evidence to paint a more comprehensive picture than what’s really going on
