You DONT need a warrant to arrest someone.
The above is a silly example realy, just walking with a shotgun would get armed responce on the scene pretty quick I would say.
The Video's are people who said they where going to stage PEACEFULL demonstrations at the royal wedding, thats all, and got arrested in there own home (charley) or on the street (a senior Professor of Anthropology and friends being one) PRIOR to the event.
Pre Crime, but what was the crime they where going to commit? Is free speech not allowed in this country now?
