This is terrifying enough of a privacy invasion at the nation-state level. It's catastrophic to give police this authority and capability. If this comes to the U.S., we are fucking doomed.

Yes, our internet providers and mobile providers are in bed with the NSA, CIA, FBI, DOD, NIS and probably many other 3 letter agencies. But those aren't the almost wholly unregulated Police of america staffed by literal gang-members in some jurisdictions. At least today that data is (ostensibly) behind a warrant.
