"aimed" Yeah right.

There is no legal basis for "aimed" or "intent" once the powers are granted they get used for anything. Cf for example UK (legal) marches - suddenly the police are using anti-terror legislation: stopping searching and detaining without charge, ditto for journalists taking photos.
It's the precise details of the wording that matters.
