My frustration of the Portal Scan feature which could be misused for privacy invasion

Last night when I went to an area for UPC in some part of Hong Kong, I met an Agent of opposite Faction. That Agent claimed that he was doing Portal Scanning. Yet, I saw that he seemed to directly use his phone to "scan" my face instead of scanning the real object of the Portal.

Though I did not direct argue with that Agent and continued my way to do some UPC, the behavior of that Agent had brought my concern. It seemed that he did not actually scan the real object, instead he was scanning other things to just earn an increment of Portal Scan number towards the Scout and Scout Controller medal.

I just cannot express my frustration that some Agents had misused the feature of "portal scanning" just scanning something irrelevant, or even, invasion of personal privacy. May I ask @NianticBrian, @NianticKK, @NianticCasey, @NianticThia, @halette or other members of moderator to review on how many Agents were scanning the object representing the Portals properly, instead of misusing the feature.

Thank you.
