Precognition. Telepathy wouldn't be as useful. Imagen if a bank's been robbed (where perhaps one or two people were killed) or a child's been abducted in a park. Everything's already happened by the time I come in. And all I'd be able to do, is say wether or not you're guilty (doubt my range would be very wide, so I'd probably have to be in the same room as you). So, all I could do is stop you from doing it again.
With precognition I'd know for hours in advance, when and where the crime will be commited. So, I could alert the police for where they should be at a specific time. Meaning, the bank robbers are caught before making it into the bank (saving the life of whoever would've died during the robbery) and the kidnapper's caught, trying to snatch the kid in the park. With telepathy, all I could've done is later, preventing you from harming another child. With precognition, I could stop you from harming a kid in the first place.
Precognition could also be useful in fields outside of crime (which telepathy wouldn't), as I'd know if an accident will occur or if someone will attempt suicide and prevent it.
A useful point The police would not believe you :
You: " you see that guy over there? He's going to rob the bank.
Police: "yeah whatever stoner. your getting a drug test."
haha lol. out in the field you could sense whether or not someone was guilty to a crime whilst interviewing him and search his mind for where he hid the evidence and body. But good points. Touche We could be a mutant detective team. "Ultimate and Extrasensory; Mutant Detectives"..
