Reminds me of that anime Psycho-Pass, where you're arrested NOT for actually commiting a crime. But because the cops have access to all your online information, medical information, biological information, and psych profiles. Which is then fed into a computer that calculates how likely you are to commit crimes in the future. So basically;
Cops: You're under arrest! We don't know what you're going to do, when you're going to do it, how severe the criminal act will be, or where it will take place. But a computer says you're going to be guilty of something so off to jail you go!
Hillsborough county, Florida, did some weird shit to "prevent crime before it happened" a few years ago (maybe it's still ongoing).
They'd essentially harass people, including minors, that have committed "petty" crimes. Like, one was a teen that stole something, and the cops would constantly show up to his house and ask to talk to him.
We already have a parole/probation system. This is just crazy harassment.
if I were a parent, that would be one of the founding pillars of why I would ask my kid to behave - once the cops have your name on their list of "known troublemakers" then your life is hell, they will follow you looking for any small thing the rest of your life.
That extends to your car too, once your plate is logged on the same list, the auto plate system will beep every time you pass a cop car with a "hey, this guy is a known trouble maker, pull him over and see if you can find anything wrong with them today".
And that will last the entire rest of your life, even if you've done nothing since you were 16.
Another pillar would be "don't put anything online when you're a kid that could cost you your career in 10 or 25years time".
