The point is that this app collates information from other sources. Popular, encrypted sources where you don’t know the source like Telegram.
Why would one use this public app to target individual cops (when it doesn’t even reveal individual cops, and by virtue of its aggregation of data is likely to reveal groups of cops more often) when they could use any of the primary sources instead?
Maybe the other part is true, where criminals are using the app to target areas where cops are not present. That would actually make sense. But the first reason doesn’t add up.
