And THAT'S the problem Dengar. What is an innocent person?


Under the Sybil system, an innocent person is someone whose psychopass is under 100. It doesn't matter if their psychopass got pushed over 100 cause they were kidnapped and raped. It doesn't matter that it jumped over 300 because they believed the police were going to kill them in cold blood. All that matters is the number. That's what defines their innocence. Society in Psycho-Pass accepts this, because this is what they've been raised to accept as being normal.


But would other countries accept the authority of Sybil to treat their citizens this way? Do nations that have judiciaries with their own definition of what innocent accept Sybils preemptive judgement?
