If the software is being used in criminal cases then, that's bad. If it's being used the same way a picture in the local 7/11 is used to say "don't sell to this person." then it's not so bad.
If it's being used to track someone as they walk around town, then I think it falls into privacy.
In this story. The lawyer was warned. It's reasonable to assume if you're suing me, I don't want you in my house.
