Imagine what cops do on search engines when solving crimes.

I'm a volunteer court watcher for DV court and I haven't gone six months without seeing a cop in there for using state surveillance tools to stalk women or abuse a domestic partner.

When humans are involved, it's a given there will be abuse. There always has been and always will be abuse of power, in every single part of society where power can exist. The question becomes what can be done about it? If policing continues to rely more on digital tooling for tasks, there is now a trail of evidence. We should expect tools like this, and really anything digital to have strong tracking of actions performed.

Wether or not an agency takes action on internal or external reports of abuse is a local agency issue it seems.
