Retailers are the tip of the iceberg. These companies would want to sell your info to any group who see you as a liability, not just law enforcement: - Insurance companies want an excuse deny payment - Potential employers want an excuse to not hire you - Landlords, neighbors, social clubs benefit from an excuse to deny you - People who despise you for any reason may use this to hurt you. Any of these uses today might be seen as extreme, but these things have a way of normalizing themselves over time.
