You are reading way too much into my comment. I was directly speaking to the example given and not making some universal endorsement of empowering cops. There was nothing in that example that was specifically linked to data collection. You could have had the exact same situation except they are rounding up Black people as suspects. The problem there is bad cops not dangerous tools. The tool is irrelevant in the example.
