The police weren't looking for a T-800, they were looking for a man fitting the description of Arnold Schwarzenegger. A machine gets smashed up, how are they supposed to identify that as the MAN who shot up a police station? A machine gets melted in molten metal - who identifies the body?
In other words, as far as the police is concerned, the man who shot up the police station and all those squad cars etc., is still at large. Why
wouldn't
the police be looking for him? -

He wasn't dead in that timeline.
If there was no chance of killing John in the past because he's alive in the present, it would've been pointless to send the terminators back.
It operated under the rules that the future can be changed by altering the past. -

To rule the future in the new timeline. John Conner helped destroy Skynet in the original timeline. Without him there, Skynet they could control everything. They sent a terminator back to kill him, so in the new timeline, they could win the war and control the world. It wouldn't help their current timeline, but it'd help their new up and coming one.
There would have to be multiple futures or rather multiple timelines. If Skynet and the resistance send terminators, they'd still exist after they send them. They wouldn't eradicate into nothingness.
If time machines existed, and one person goes back in time, do we all disappear because
one person
went to the past? No. -

Yes, but cyber-enhanced woman didn't know what Skynet was. So how could Carl, from Skynet, send texts to Sarah about Legion terminators sent back for her to hunt?
How would a terminator from a different timeline know about other terminators being sent back?

'Carl' Mentioned that there is a change in the atmosphere when temporal displacement (time warp opening) occurs that it is presumed, a machine, but not a human can sense. This was directly asked and answered in the film
