In the interest of public safety; I fail to see the down side of this being used by the police.

public safety is always the great excuse for State terror and tyranny. During the French Revolution it was the Committee for Public Safety...which organized the killing of hundreds of thousands of people, before eventually Robespierre and St Just both members of the Committee also were killed by the same Committee. The enemy of the people are always a great excuse for increasing the power of the state.
