I know nothing about Next Door but from reading the comments it seems like the problem is having this information in untrained hands.
I'd go with 'undisciplined' hands versus 'untrained' hands, while admitting I'm unsure of the best way to articulate the difference in a manner that is empathetic towards the desires of residents who just want to feel like they're safe on their block but also addresses a certain pragmatic reality of what happens when 'good intentions' results in a patrol car pulling up next to you in your own neighborhood.
The reasonable expectation of your neighbors would be to assume they're normal people like you, not necessarily that they be trained in surveillance, criminal profiling or tracking persons of interest but instead disciplined in their vigilance as thoughtful and watchful community members who act when there is something demonstrably out of the norm that could affect the neighborhood.
Again, not sure how I can best articulate that thought, or even what steps a community has to take to avoid everyone "narcing" on everyone else for boring, mundane behavior (say, like for instance, retreading your steps through the neighborhood after you lost your phone or some other item the night before) while still remaining active enough to do the right thing when you see someone you know isn't your neighbor picking up packages off someone's doorstep.
