Given these "powers" and if the police just "suspect" you, the police could extract the information you hold, say, on your 200 friends

If, say, your local force performs similar extraction 1000 times a year, they would be holding data on, say, 200,000 people (probably less) - if there are 20 police forces performing similar extraction they would be holding data on 4,000,000 people (probably less) - in a few short years, the police could be holding (very) personal data on just about everybody .....
