I don't even know if I disagree that the NYPD using things like this isn't a more effective way to prevent crime, but I don't think it matters. They are a law enforcement agency, not a domestic espionage or counter-terrorism agency.

They do a fair amount of counter-terrorism work;

I don't disagree that they have behaved as a counter-terrorism agency. I just reject the premise that they are one.

They certainly think they are. What with an office in Israel and all.
