My comment was exactly what it was - it did not need deep misinterpretation on your part. To make it simple for you, just because a thief didn't rob the bank this time, doesn't mean the thief doesn't rob banks on a regular basis.
The assumption that the person is a thief in the first place is where your analogy fails.
If you KNOW he's a thief, you can prevent it. But if he LOOKS like he might be thief (or might not be), then what?
