DNA technology is not that advanced, you make it appear like it's all done and known. I choose to believe the mind is the cause for actions, not DNA. The latter leads to eugenetics.
Sure technology can help a whole lot. But there just isn't enough information yet. People would need implants in order to measure and collect hormonal levels and there are many different types of hormones alone besides all the other processes in the human body. Just thinking of the global electrical bill makes me wonder if it will be possible at all.
Even though there is no real DNA evidence or any other physical evidence, there is psychiatry. They can simply say all kinds of things in a court of law without proof and then have the patient in question committed (effectively imprisoned) and drugged up so he'll be less of a problem in society. Some also have even heavier methods like ECT. It's not inconceivable criminal behavior will be deemed a mental illness and people will get rounded up.

You realize that you and every other member of ATS will be on the most likely to commit a crime list because we're awake and talking about the conspiracies...That's why this idea will never work. To the Federal Government we are not the sheep therefore we ARE the enemy.

You want to stop crime. Get rid of corruption in Congress, so the actual issues are brought to the forefront and dealt with appropriately. The world is screwed up because of conflict of interest among those that have the power to make regulations and dictate our life.

Very unlikely.
I bet if we made a statistics of all ATS members, very few would have committed a crime or worked against the gov't.
The computer will flag this instance as low or negligible threat.
The system will base on statistics, not how you think.

But to be truly predictive, it needs to identify possible threats. Government sees insurgency and insurrection as the biggest threats. by Questioning the official narrative and main stream propaganda, we fit that profile of possible threats. We might not be arrested or be on the critical watch list, but it's only a small step towards a KGB model and Minority Report, except with false positives and no ESP.

Computer programs are only as good as the data we have about behavior and the programmers that make them.
Besides, this idea would put a lot of politicians in jail. So it wouldn't get passed in the first place.
Why not just enforce the current laws we have? We have lots of laws which cover problems we have today, like corruption, bribery (Hillary), but they aren't being enforced.
