    The fact that there things inadmissable in court shows that we, as a society, do NOT subscribe to the notion of solving crime at ANY AND ALL costs. For example, we’ve generally agreed that confessions obtained through torture or evidence through illegal search and seizure can’t be used against a person. Importantly, a doctor generally can’t testify against a patient, though there are some exceptions. I think COVID contact tracing data should fall into that category.
