I would usually write you off as someone who self identifies as law enforcement with a throwaway account (ironic, since no upstanding citizens have anything to hide!), but a real question: What departmental protections will exist for someone like yourself for using this without a properly authorized court order? Self restraint? Professional integrity? If you cannot tell from the tone of people here, if I may be so bold and pretend to express a sentiment I find on behalf of others: I find the zeal for your industry to not properly control tools within legally mandated limits disgusting, specifically because I oft hear pleas for better and newer tools and never we will strive to double down on our civic duty and better exercise our control and use of dangerous tools. To be fair, you learn from the best: anecdata from friends tells me the defense intel industry post Snowden scandals, with asshats misusing feverently denied tools for illegal citizen monitoring but you can blow that off too, was to increase background screening of employees, not fix and control monitoring system access. That would be ludicrous. So I am not surprised if they can't get it, neither can you.
