I could see it being good if it helps you estimate crimes committed by citizens. If you know where the gaps in your knowledge/data are, you can attempt to account for them. And that’s better than nothing.

I think misleading information is obviously bad, incomplete information is not necessarily misleading though.

On the other hand, it might be better to remove incomplete information if it is actively being used to mislead people.
