Thanks to the practice of Parallel Construction and using Third Party vendors, I'm sure there would be a way around this.

Hypothetically, the Portland PD sends all the details of the crime, including images, to a Third Party. Third Party, through use of proprietary black-box algorithms, returns a list of likely suspects. Portland PD investigates the suspects, and constructs the parallel case, without the need for the Third Party's report to ever enter the court room. Not that I think Portland, Maine is an epicenter of authoritarianism.

Is it a good thing to have idealistic laws? Or is it damaging to have a false sense of security?
