For your analogy to be useful the guy would have to jump in his car and grab a phone with the intent of harming somebody. He didn't. No crime. So the stupid cunt Vine wants him to be charged with a pre-crime.

Politicians and judges should go to jail for raping children, don't you think? Rather than think up new pre-crime laws for the rest of us.
OK. Fine. Intent is a reasonable point.
So if I go out blindfolded then and start shooting randomly. Should I only be prosecuted if I hit someone?
If I didn't then, well, I did something potentially dangerous but no-one got hurt so no harm done?
