The basic problem with "pre-emptive legal action" is it presumes guilt (that
hasn't even occured yet!!) It is a major, and common, philosophy error to
equate a potential with an actual. Everyone has the physical potential to
commit wanton violence. Only a relative handful every actually do. There is a
world of difference between wanting to punch some dummy in the nose and
actually doing it.
