Minority Report, anyone?

The angle there was not so much that you have 100% detection rates, but 
that you can detect crime before it happens. A few crimes still go 
unsolved, and some people figure out how to use that to their 
advantage... Not an entirely disimilar angle though.

(Of course, that film will always be remembered not for precrime, but 
for the futuristic computer interface technologies. If nothing else, 
that ensures it will be remembered forever.)
