Even if they almost go through with it?
Do you think that someone who thinks about molesting a girl, even almost goes through with it should be arrested?

that would be violating privacy, besides how would you know if someone is "thinking" about killing or molesting. if he almost goes through with it, as in approaches a person or someting, sure. but unless he actually DOES something, you can't charge them

If everyone who thought about killing someone were arrested, there would be no one left to guard the prisons and keep them in.

While they need help there is limited room for prior restraint allowed under our legal system.
