If Joe Q Public can buy something, I don't see why the police shouldn't. The problem here is this data should not be sold to Joe Q Public.

- Avshalom 4y agoI mean the problem is that this data is gathered at all. Secondarily that the data is available for purchase to any old asshole. That said: Joe Q Public can't arrest me, can't take my shit under the vale of asset forfeiture, can't murder me and walk away under the thinnest of pretenses, can't jail me for a decade before I even see a trial... Police have much more power than Joe Q Public and must be held to a correspondingly higher standard of responsibility if they are to exist.
