Many startups at the incubator base their innovative products around \u201cbig data\u201d, and the concept attracts substantial academic attention locally as well. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s natural that law enforcement would be interested in employing the same techniques, accessing information that people put on the Internet and on their devices about themselves, their location and their habits. Massachusetts-based Raytheon, the world\u2019s fifth-largest defense contractor, has developed a product for law enforcement called \u201cRiot\u201d. Riot acts as a search engine, gathering information about people from Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and other places. Raytheon refers to Riot as \u201cextreme-scale analytics\u201d, possibly because \u201cwicked awesome analytics\u201d was already trademarked.
