Your comment comes off pretty condescending and dismissive, which clouds a valid point. It's not likely you will be individually targeted by law enforcement.

The scarier proposition to me is bulk collection and latent analysis.

I think you can change that to "if you are not politically active, you are unlikely to be targetted"

On the other hand, if you are known to criticise police actions, it's likely that they will be targetting you. The BLM leaders probably haven't connected to a real cellphone tower in years
