If criminals didn't use cars or smartphones, they'd be (almost) invisible to LEOs. Most of the tools LEOs use involve scraping data from one or the other.

An AI kiosk won't be able to do that to anywhere near the same degree
What makes you say that? Especially right after all these tech companies lost court cases about making social media as addictive as possible. It might not be able to manipulate your social empathy on the spot, but the overall system, where AI kiosk is just a link in a long pressure sales chain, will absolutely be better at manipulating you.

Unless you have been consenting to everything left and right and now there is a lot of data on your profile, how would it do that without you agreeing to a credit check?
Those will be emphasized, though. This is what capitalism is. Everything is an opportunity for exploitation.
Right, and with fair pricing and disclosure. What is interesting here is that the solution to a terrible, exploitive buying experience is to make the seller even more sociopathic.
We've already done that. Huge tax breaks. Free schools, with transport, meals, supplies, etc. Apparently you can't swing a cat without hitting a government subsided non-profit daycare in the US, even if half of them are fake.
It's life, generally. If you're not a helicopter parent, all the other parents sic the cops on you. The schools are operated by demented commies that have all sorts of plans for your kid(s). Both of you work, so your kid(s) get raised by the interwebs, being told they're not the gender the patriarchy told them they are. Then, every once in a while, someone shoots up the school.
Not surprising. Having a kid in the US is now a huge liability in multiple dimensions. Finances are just one piece of that.

$5 says they had local informants. The puzzling bit would be why they bothered protecting those people rather than throwing them away once they'd served their purpose.
After the fail of operation Epstein Fury, we'll be getting hundreds of "feel-good" bullshit stories.

I don't believe this for a second. It's even less plausible than that mining manganese nodules on the ocean floor was the real purpose of the Glomar Explorer.
I have no idea what they're hiding but really doubt anything like a quantum heartbeat detector exists. To make wild guess, we had some human assets in the country who told us where the officer was and we needed a story so we didn't compromise that person. Maybe we'll find out the truth over the next 30 years.
