And then you feel comfortable guaranteeing that it could never be abused?
The issue is being brought up by the state auditor. This article is literally what would happen anyway if your pet policy was enacted. The police would ignore your little policy, and the standard would have to write an article about the abuse. Hopefully that article would drive public opinion enough for change to happen.
This is the system working.

Sorry, I meant to make it technically impossible to query the data without producing a public log.
thats how it is now though ?
One, an officer could put fuck you in that field and execute the search.
Two, those queries aren’t automatically public.

then what is the proof for the title of this post

Well they didn't. The reason we just read the article we read was because they looked in the logs, and the logs included well written reasons that were illegal. So they wrote an article.
How does stopping them from writing "fuck you" in the field (which they provably didn't, considering they found the queries), or giving you access to it, help in any way in this situation? You're going to have to make an argument here for it to make any sense.
