It would be extremely easy to detect where bad cops are abusing it by harassing individuals. Clearly, this is an emotive issue so definitely there needs to be commensurate controls accompanying the procedure.
However, we are talking about a policy that has empirical evidence demonstrating that it results in changes in behaviour that has saved significant numbers of lives. And in countries that can hardly be labelled as antagonistic toward individual liberty.
