Not that long ago the most powerful and free country in the world was engulfed in chaos after the killing of George Floyd. The event was polarising and you had your anti-rioter camp and anti-police camp. It should not be hard to see how there would have been direct chains of command on either side which could facilitate data misuse. If you want a hard example, look at Hong Kong: protestors getting arrested via all manner of tracking, but also police's family being doxxed by protestors. Also see Belarus and now Myanmar. Things are all fine and dandy, until they aren't. This is why you need checks and balances.
