This reminds me of that incident in 2015 where two police officers were shot and killed in a targeted stack after someone tracked them down using Waze. Police unions put a bunch of pressure on Google to remove the police tracking functionality.
So on one hand, there is a legitimate precedent to be concerned about this being used for targeted attacks. But also Google never caved to pressure in that situation, and the benefits and legal rights seem much more important than the risks.
