What is so bad about "Precrime"?

Until the crime has actually been committed or action has been taken towards committing the crime then it is theoretical.
Action could be taken to prevent it if there was foreknowledge but not convictions because there was no crime.
Further convictions for things people haven't done means you could convict anyone on trumped up charges at will.

The movie didn't make it entirely obviously that the detection of the murder happened before the would be murderer intended on murdering. I guess in that case I would have a problem with it.
