Trackables need some sort of mode where the user can consent to the police putting the trackable into a silent mode while the police investigate, with a fixed expiration. It would be trackable by both the user and police in this mode, and either one could revoke silent mode. I feel like this could be done with some fancy cryptographic signature system to keep mass surveillance at bay (people hold their own private keys). The primary use case for trackables _is_ recovering stolen property, despite Apple trying to say its "finding lost items". An incredibly small minority of people are using them as a stalking device, even though totally silent GPS trackers have been around for decades at this point. Apple already has a law enforcement portal it maintains. I feel like they could encourage good behavior by police in this manner while also greatly reducing crime.
