Plus remember that all data broker information, all of it, is bought by the feds that distribute it to agencies.
Even before that, the NSA revelations showed that the feds would populate their ill gotten information, and half baked conclusions thereof, down to local police in their law enforcement information networks. Not attributed of course, idk how they do it exactly it's pretty secretive we could use some more investigative reporting on LEINs.
But the 4th amendment is in effect dead. Police just use private interests to violate your privacy without warrants or judicial scrutiny, and then parallel construct a legal way of finding that information if they want to use it in court. Judges are chosen to pretend to believe them, which is why the police are so arrogant they lie about executing Pretti and Good despite multiple videos contradicting their testimonies.
