I'm waiting for a time when being a criminal or a terrorist is decided based purely on what you do, and not on whether some unidentifiable people pushed a button on some machine or made a circle on unsigned paper and thrown it into a box.

Until then, this distinction ("until criminals and terrorists") doesn't really mean anything, when state actors regularly act indistinguishably from criminals and terrorists.

Bingo! In the US at least, it's the "bad actors" responsibility to keep up with the State in a technological arms race when the State continually pushes closer to "Precogs" as a means of law enforcement.
