I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you're telling me that the police wouldn't misuse a word to make themselves seem more important? These are the people who brought the word "surveilled" into existence because they didn't know that "surveillance" was a noun without a verb form. They just didn't want to say "watched" or "observed".
