Even If we set aside the rampant illegality threading through this initiative, it also feels like a bad pattern you can find in the private sector:

1. Customer reports problem that cannot be validated and probably doesn't exist.

2. Management insists a solution be created.

3. Solution doesn't actually find the problems the customer was reporting.

4. Management, to save face, retroactively changes what the system was supposed to be used for.

In this case, the system will fail to find millions of people committing very serious crimes and then somehow getting away with it for no reason... But to justify its existence, it will instead be used for crap like canceling visas over parking tickets and deporting otherwise-saintly residents.

... Or worse, attacking anybody who says something mean about the government.
