Even if you are toning down your proposal, you still seem to argue for something that resembles an extreme police state.
Strip away the sci fi terminology, replace the space lasers with police armed with sniper rifles, and replace the tasers with batons, and you have technologies that are available today (except for the surveillance needed to identify the offenders, but for that part, you could have the super-AI needed foor the task feed informatino to the police instead of to satelites/drones.)
While efficient law enforcement is important, "perfect" law enforcement is likely to cause more harm than it will prevent.
