On NLP, in the UK there has been one miscarriage of justice (a wrongfully convicted man spent four years in prison) due to mishandling of text messages by police and prosecutors, and some close misses. Because of the time pressures on police and prosecutors, they were just looking for a bunch of keywords unsystematically rather than reading the material fully, and failing to disclose relevant material to defence lawyers.
