No, arresting people for crimes they haven’t committed is horrifying and bizarre.
- dofm 2mo agoWe're not talking about some notion of thoughtcrime here. We're talking about preparation, and the equivalent of reasonable suspicion for a stop or probable cause for an arrest in the USA, where people absolutely are arrested every day for things an officer has seen enough evidence to believe are about to happen.
- singleshot_ 2mo agono one is talking about a Terry stop except you. “Might” is not probable cause.
