Police may be one of the few professions below who have real privacy protections in US, although most decent humans would never want to take advantage of particular ones in effect.
The special rights the police have are amazing, and that's before you get to the ones about use of force. My personal favorite is that the maxim 'ignorance of the law is no excuse' is flipped on its head if you're a cop - qualified immunity combined with judges willing to make absurd distinctions make it a great excuse.
I absolutely want a list of the ones that still got caught, even with all those advantages. In terms of evaluating the risks of local community members, that's far more useful than a list of "sex offenders" who may have peed in public or something.

When a cop is trying to arrest you for taking photos in a public place, "We can't expect cops to be constitutional lawyers".
