Google has learned nothing from its dealings with the MPAA (hint: "they" always want more). And now they've just shown law enforcement that it can do this sort of thing. Someone's probably already lobbying for a law in Congress to force Google to do this sort of pre-crime thing on a much wider scale and continuously.
In fact, I'm willing to bet this is exactly the kind of thing that was required of them (and other tech companies) in the CISPA law (and the new CISPA-like law [1] Obama is calling for after the Sony hack - which seems focused on hacking information, but I'm sure it will be written to be a lot more broader than that).
