Do we really need a computer for that? It would also be a failure*.

I've not watched Minority Report, but you can't really know even what some well known and documented people might do in advance and it's not reasonable to arrest and jail people for what they might do, though it's been done. Also facial recognition systems have been misused to arrest people or ban them from shops or venues without any human checking or advance challenge. Given bias in training data and poor performance against the majority on humans (who are not pale-skinned) a human verification and investigation should occur first.

* Like Asimov's fictional (at the time) Psycho-history it's nearly impossible to be sure of an individual's future actions, but in a general population trends can be forecast more accurately. But we don't need AI for that.
