> But what will people think of those same tools being used to enforce protection orders, to spot parole violators?

If only our society had some orderly process to balance privacy with public safety - such as by having the cops explain to a judge why they need to track a given person, for how long, and so on.

Perhaps also some rules about what counts as a good enough reason, and telling judges they can't grant overly broad, blanket permission.

Someone should put something in the constitution about that.
