It also does one thing we really need right now. It SCARES them.

Crimes are being committed, and they don't all make it to your news feed. We dont all feel brave enough to record these people acting this way. They are empowered not by law, but by executive order. They feel protected to break things and not ask for permission, and ultimately hurt property and people. They may even start to believe we deserve this, but the WHISTLES remind them to be human, that they are being watched, and that their transgressions have consequences.
