Right. Not Safety, Feeling Safe. It's all about how you FEEL and your FEELINGS. This is precrime investigation, so when a crime occurs, they can decide who to pin it on. Like pulling out the mug shots of the usual suspects because once you commit a crime, you are forever a criminal.

Let's concentrate on malum in se crimes (evil by their nature) and nix the Surveillance so we don't fee Big Brother always watching.
