“pre-action”: stop these things before they commit crimes.

This changes the state of things into truly thought policing, not through unspoken, implicit societal norms, but with the authority and blunt force of the regime’s might.

Yes. What was the name of that movie again... Anyhow this sort of shit has been quietly happening in many countries now, all at least partly inspired by the USA's "War on Terrorism".

Minority Report is the name of the movie, for anyone curious.
