They aren’t the only law enforcement agency that attempts to predict future criminals. For example anyone can be put in California crime database called CalGang for activities such as eating lunch with a gang member. Cops will then give extra attention to people in this database. I think as people interested in technology we should be concerned about the algorithms and policies behind data-driven policing.
The US is more of a federal system which somewhat protects us. I doubt there will be a national law saying that local police should look for illegal chickens. So you just vote the local people out or move.
