    Right, nobody is allowed to drive drunk, yet we don’t have checks at the local liquor store based on who is “more likely” to drive drunk, we punish those who get caught doing it with jail and Blow ‘N’ Gos, as those are the ones who have proven themselves to be irresponsible.

    If we said “sorry but someone decided that you look like the type to drink and drive so you’re not ever allowed to buy or consume alcohol,” that would be a violation of their rights, and that is what you want to do with your pre-crime nonsense.

    Yes. Germany and Japan would be awful places to live to me, and that is without even considering they don’t trust their citizens to protect themselves. Germany would be the better of the two but, still nein, Japan is xenophobic and since I’m an “outsider” it sounds like a lame place to live. Combine that with the whole “Japanese police inspect every home in their district 1x/yr just cause, looking for that evil, evil, marijuana and can hold suspects indefinitely forcing confessions leading to a 98% conviction rate which is widely regarded as likely a large amount of unjust convictions” thing and yeaaahhh if you live there I can see why you’re unfamiliar with being treated like a human.
