The quasi-police state was a result of the populace pleading for higher security and the Department of Precrime was a major key to eliminating murder altogether. Since the film takes place in 2054, it can be assumed that that at least Washington DC recovered and regained a measure of stability after ''Film/TheForeverPurge''.

Nobody on screen likes to talk about The Purge Era as the trauma/shame from it is immeasurable.

* Would it have been practical for Precrime to expand from D.C. to the entire country, without a larger number of precogs? In the car after Anderton abducts Agatha, she says, "I'm tired of the future," which suggests the Precogs were overworked already.

[[WMG: Precogs may see future events in alternates realities where Precrime doesn't exist that perfectly align with the universe they're in]]
This would explain why the Precops don't appear in their visions, but yet the murders still occur in nearly the exact same way they saw it right down to the smallest detail. If they did see the future of that world, wouldn't Anderton and the team see themselves stopping the murders in them when they're "scrubbing the image"? A FridgeHorror[[invoked]] would then say that every single murder Precrime prevented in those alternate realities were successful with no one to stop them.

Anne only came for Agatha, implying the Dash and Arthur aren't biologically related to her. This would imply that neuroin could have similar effects on any pregnancy, and more than just the three exist. It wouldn't even be that hard to evade the authorities. Surely there were some that were born outside of the jurisdiction. Some may have been hidden away by a non-addict parent that ''did'' care when their abilities emerged. Any others likely would have hidden their abilities themselves if they were born after Pre-crime's creation, fearing the same captivity that the main three underwent. The tv show may even look into this.

Honestly, this is the only thing that makes the movie make sense. Agatha knew that Burgess had drowned her mother, Anne Lively, but couldn't prove it. So, she manipulated her own ability and created a vision that she knew would result in Anderton finding and uncovering the person responsible. She gave Burgess some foreknowledge, but ultimately the only thing that sent Anderton on his crusade was the fact that he had seen Agatha's prevision. Therefore, Agatha herself created the vision, and she had the ability to know what Anderton would do when he saw it.
