* GogglesDoSomething: Cops in 2065 wear augmented reality contact lenses (see Vega in poster above) that, among other things, let them scan crime scenes and see in thermal and night vision. These lenses also work in conjunction with the cops' hand movements so that the lenses will scan specific areas the cop is gesturing towards.

They Fight Crime is no longer a trope


In 2065 UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC[=,=] eleven years after the events of the 2002 film, Precog Dash (Creator/StarkSands) has grown distressed over still seeing murders. Setting out on his own he has attempted to stop them, but as the weakest of the three he lacks important info that his twin brother Arthur (Creator/NickZano) could see. After his latest failure he runs into Detective Lara Vega (Creator/MeaganGood) and, after she pieces together his past, the two team up to [[TheyFightCrime stop crimes]] [[PrecrimeArrest before they happen]]. But Dash's fellow-Precog Agatha (Laura Regan) has foreseen that this partnership will only end in disaster.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Dash's precog abilities only let him see the emotional trauma of the deaths and some general details and images, where Agatha got a good view of the overall picture and Art got the names and a few other relevant details. As a result, while Dash's visions can be useful in solving or preventing crimes, he doesn't see enough of them to solve whole murders on his own, requiring him to work with an experienced investigator like Vega to actually solve everything.

** On a more specific example, in "The Present" the latest vision appears to identify Vega as the victim, and even Art only saw Vega's name when normally such visions reveal the victim ''and'' the perpetrator. In the end, [[spoiler:Vega ends up in a position where she could have taken on either role, either being shot by a young boy defending his mother or shooting the boy in self-defence, but she is able to avoid either scenario happening]].



* SocializationBonus: In "The Present", it is revealed that Dash can theoretically tap into memories of his old visions from the Precrime program, but since he and Art were basically linked during that time he needs Art to be present as well if he's going to properly access those memories.



* TechnologyPorn: The creators were sure to expand on the paths that future technology took, based on the film and real life. The movies motion controls have been replaced with augmented reality displays, and there are significantly more automated elements. Selfie Drone, anyone?

* CainAndAbel: Downplayed -- Dash wants to help people with his powers while Arthur uses them for personal gain (although minor stuff like knowing what stock to buy).

* {{Fingore}}: Dash was subjected to this by a henchman, when one of Arthur's connections wanted his money(which he stole) back from Arthur. Fortunately the future has advanced medical technology to reattach it.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Unlike most psychic detective shows, precogs like Dash do ''not'' exist in a legal gray area. Their powers are well-known, and exploiting them is extremely illegal. Vega and Dash struggle to keep his involvement hidden, until she gets the idea to bring him in on Hawk-Eye.
** The episode "The American Dream" has Akeela stating that the price of granting illegal immigrants amnesty was the repeal of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which requires ignoring the entire Constitutional Amendment process' requirement of three-quarters of state legislatures approving it after two-thirds of Congress does.
