Abuse of consumer surveillance tech by the criminal justice system

Story on a man's bond being revoked following report from a surveillance app installed on one of his family's phones. The CEO of the company that published the app says the app is not fit to be used in law enforcement. Many experts quoted as saying the court's use of that app as a condition for bond violates many constitutional rights.
From the report, it looks like the court and the enforcers don't really understand what the technology can or cannot do, or what to make of reports generated by the technology -- and yet that's how they determine whether one gets to keep one's freedom.
