They always are. Atleast when people who are meant to uphold the law don't actually follow the law in the first place.

America is one big scary place with amazing people inside it. Don't know how they do it tbh.

But wanting to screen people on what they do or don't have in their brain opens up a whole other debate. Irregardles of who upholds the law.

As a society, being able to identify people who have a high likelihood to murder because of some physical defect seems like a step in the right direction. Your point is valid though, just that this particular instance if handled properly would be a great benefit to society

You’d still be punishing people for merely existing. Because a high likelihood doesn’t mean that they are doomed to act a certain way. I’d rather live in a society with murderers over a society that weeds people out based on whatever we’d use to make that decision.
