Missing the Point


This story from ThisIsLondon.co.uk on local councils' using armies of snitches, stoolies, informants, and grasses to spy on ordinary citizens contains this magic sentence:
Critics said the latest scheme could easily be abused and encourage a culture of bin spies and curtain twitchers.
"Could easily be abused"? Would someone be kind enough to point out that the entire idea is an abuse in and of itself?
