I'm not a cop, but how can I get access to this Hemisphere system? Do I pretend to be a cop and walk into a police station, open the start menu and click on Hemisphere, and then "search all"? Seems doable.

I posit that it doesn't.
Personally I'm using it as an opportunity to tell my story and call out authorities by name, when my case is over.
I would like to see a country where judges don't play God or choose which families win and lose in this country. They owe every citizen respect, not just the ones with uteruses.
Our rights are but toys to them. This will not change until we start dismantling the structures of power that allow them to steal autonomy from others.
Also, a firm no thanks from me on dismantling the structures of power until we settle unambiguously on what replaces them. Again, maybe my Canadian bias, our "structures of power" are not great but typically those who want to dismantle them are advocating sheer wingnut lunacy in their stead.
There are some things, like families, that governments are simply not equipped or qualified to rule on. It doesn't concern them, they have no standing and no stake in the outcome. They are reticent to take real action and instead want people to bend to their will without having proven superiority of character, word, or deed.
Still not enough to convince me that this country is good or is capable of respecting its own documents and laws. It does what is convenient to it, no more, no less.
I will return the favor when the US inevitably pisses off another country and they invade.
Want to mistreat me? Enjoy defending yourself.
My aim in sharing that article was "how we get to a point where judges even think this is acceptable behavior/know they can usually do this kind of thing with impunity".
