Cops and criminals probably drooling over that prospect themselves.

“it’s not uncommon for Wi-Fi systems to share routers or internal wiring”
If they are sharing the same routers an or wiring they are NOT seperate systems. They may be segragated but unless there is an air gap between the systems the potenial for cracking exists. Even if an air gap does exist there is remote potenial for cracking, spoofing and other nefarious activity but it is way more difficult.
