They're matching specific descriptions of cars to incidents, like, "this vehicle has been present at the site of 5 previous package thefts".

- Who is "They"?

- Why do you say "nobody has time for that"? What is "that"?

- Why are you dismissing genuine concerns through unhelpful language like, "coming to it with movie plot concerns".

- Why wouldn't "that" be a big deal? What is "that"?!

- What are the deeply problematic things?

- "They're matching specific descriptions of cars to incidents" -- no they're not. Just looking at Bloomingdale's audit logs, there are 13k examples of searches done for the simple reason, "suspicious".

- Why does municipalities being the primary operators matter?

Asking from a place of genuine confusion by how you think about these things.
