when katz v. USA was decided, government needed to talk to witnesses or surreptitiously follow suspects to gather information. even taking pictures was massively less scalable back then. I would say that policing should never become more scalable with technology, the tools police have to gather information should be as difficult and unscalable to use as they were when katz v. USA was decided.
