So...they are arresting people for their "potential" to commit a crime.
Well...I'm old now and I don't have much "potential" left in me. They should have arrested me when I had my MOST potential, just before I was circumcised. THAT's when it all started.

This should be rejected outright and those involved and those who developed, and those who signed off should face the punishment they wish to inflict on others.

Another one of those "someone created some art to warn about some potential bad future" "got it, let's follow those instructions".
