Yes but every article points fingers at cops- the wrong target. The right target are the data brokers. How would you possibly tell cops they cannot use information that others can freely purchase?

I felt like it was using police to highlight the dangers of data brokers, rather than pointing the finger at police. Either way it seems like we agree that the problem here isn’t that the police are using a tool that aggregates 3rd-party data, but rather that the data is allowed to be aggregated and sold to begin with.
