2. You are correct. What information do police collect and hold that is private? What might they do

with that information other than use for criminal prosecution.

The more information the State collects on you the more control they can have...these cell listening devices are an abomination, the fact their use may help a prosecution in a case or two is heavily outweighed by the privacy concerns.

Same goes with automatics license plate readers that can also track your movements daily, and things like air mounted X-ray cameras and listening devices.....police spying capacities have to be limited.

"Privacy creep" has to be halted somewhere.
