> If you accept that a search of property can be ordered then that implies that authority can compel you to actually see the search through. Except, it doesn't. If police present a warrant at your door they can't force you to help them open the bank vault in your basement. > If someone was screaming in a trunk and cars had unbreakable locks, that wouldn't be a justification to not compel the driver to open it. Now you've moved the goalposts from "search and seizure" to "crime actively in progress". These things are not the same, ethically or legally.
