Guilty until proven innocent is just the beginning

There was one episode of Star Trek Voyager that troubled me.  There was a line where a future Temporal Agency agent arrested a Captain for crimes that he would commit.  It reminded me of the movie The Minority Report, in that the innocent could be punished.  And, that is troubling; in a society that is based on the right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty and to be judged by a jury of one's peers, this concept is a horrifying abuse of justice.
