Past weekend I saw the movie "No one killed Jessica", although I knew most of the case history through newspaper feeds and through "Breaking News" no news channels but never got such a real shocker as I got when I saw the movie, after watching the movie I really got the feel of what the family of late Jessica Lal went through while seeking for the justice for her. In spite of aware of the fact that criminal cases usually takes years to come to a conclusion, which is wrong most of the times, I was really sad to see that I took almost 10 years for our judiciary and police to finally nail the culprit.
I think its really a high time in our country to improve the criminal justice system and hence I thought about why not using technology to improve this, no I am not talking about making court records online or online FIR etc., but I am talking about including technology in weapon's itself. What I mean to say that why can't we have a chip in each and every gun/revolver or any such weapon which will have a micro-chip and which needs to be registered with national central server and also linked with the weapon license number, so whenever a person fires the gun the chip will get activated and connected to central server and log some of the data which mentions the lattitude and longitude of site where the gun is fired and the time and other gun details. This I think will then prove to be a very important record for courts to easily prove the person gulty of crime. I know in India people always finds a trick or way to bypass the technological glitches to commit crime but still I think this can be step forward to improve the criminal system in India.
