While that problem certainly exists we also have countless crooks and con men getting away with it. The criminals are also using technology, all of it.
On one side you have people with multiple video feeds, trackers, wife-jammers, password/data leaks, backdoors, work/private schedules, purchase history, etc, etc for you, your family, friends, coworkers etc etc
On the other side you have law enforcement not knowing which person walked- or which car drove where, not for any location, not knowing which phones were at the crime scene. No access to any relevant camera (if they even exist) no access to chat logs, email, photos people made.
I'm not-at-all arguing they should have access to any of that but we shouldn't be ignorant of the balance between the two.
It seems to me a major pain in the ass if you cant bring your phone when stealing a car, doing a robbery, driving off without paying for gas or harassing people for not living up to your antiquated expectations.
