I would say it depends. If it takes 80 hours to get approval and it turns out that the warrant was, well, warranted, then I don't consider it to be a big problem.
If it takes 80 hours and it turns out to be abuse, then heads would probably roll.
However, in most cases these things are legitimate. I've worked in government and most people have good intentions. We don't have to protect ourselves, as a society, against the legitimate cases, we have to protect ourselves against the abuse.
- lobocinza 5y agoGood intentions means nothing. Most people have good intentions but that doesn't prevent them from abusing power, lying and causing damages intentionally and unintentionally.
- 8372049 5y agoThen we mean different things by "good intentions".
- audit 5y agoGood intention still implies that the implementation allows for 'bias'. Prosecutorial bias, judicial bias. Allowed bias is necessarely a bad thing, because that means bad behaviour can be hidden behind a shield of 'plausable deniability'. I think any legal system that allows for prosecutorial and judicial discretion in anything that can lead to criminal charges, is destinet to become a system of entrapment over time. I even have my own 'adage' to offer: 'A bad behaviour rewarded by sufficent increase economic or political power, will eventually corrupt and subvert any law that allows for prosecutorial discretion in determining guilt'
