The disconnect is real, but also I have to wonder why they're (figuratively) breaking down doors if they don't understand what's going on. A shortcoming in police procedures, or the failure to follow them, is the root cause, whether or not technology is involved. On a related note, there was a story a while back (news article, not urban legend) about the UK's television set license. To own/operate (not sure which) a television set, you have to purchase a license, the proceeds of which fund the government's television broadcaster. They have a van that wanders through neighborhoods scanning for the emissions that TVs make, and cross-checking that the residence it's coming from has paid for a license.
