Unfortunantly this kind of data will be misused. I remember there was a big push from my governemnt to use contact tracing apps. Only to find out later that police were using it in investigations.

Got a source for that? The approach google and Apple implemented was completely anonymous, even with rolling identifiers.

It was not the Google/Apple implementation. They were government funded apps which used a centralised db.
