You are being held liable for a crime you did not commit and you don't even know what it is. Doesn't this perfectly fit the description of a Kafkaesque crime?

  Not only did they not commit the crime; the crime hasn't even happened yet! Held liable for being the sort of person that might commit some sort of crime, maybe.

      I mean christ, at least Tom Cruise wasn't going after people for having the same name as somebody who might commit crimes, maybe... Is there even an example of dystopian science fiction this crazy?
