Maybe so, but it doesn't change the fact that no actual crime was commited.

Thought crime, Pre-crime whatever you want to call it, no matter how disturbing, is something that should not exist.

It used to be that law enforcement helped prevent crime ( or at least that was a premise) and were "friends" of the people in the community- only to be feared by criminals. Now law enforcement CREATES crime out of thin air in some cases and should not be trusted by innocent people.
