No, I'm saying warrants should be a required condition for any search or seizure, not that they are currently. Law enforcement's job shouldn't be easy.

- omginternets 10y agoThat's absurd. There are plenty of good reasons to conduct search and seizures without warrants. Simple example: a cop hears someone screaming for help inside of an apartment. With respect (really!), I think you have a bit of an ideological blind-spot. I can relate, as I used to have the same one (and probably still do in some cases).
- knieveltech 10y agoWhat do you think is more common, the "screams coming from apartment" edge case or corrupt cops abusing "probable cause"?
- omginternets 10y ago>corrupt cops abusing "probable cause"? This is why we have a court system. There is (in principle) remedy for the latter, but not for a failure to help someone in immediate distress.
