I could see this being extremely valuable to law enforcement if they're planning on making an arrest. They're a lot more likely to not get shot by the suspect if they know they're asleep. It's also the sort of thing that's not germane to making their case against the suspect--it's tactically relevant but strategically irrelevant. So we need something more than the 4th amendment here? That's actually a question I'm not a lawyer and don't know what this actually implies. Naively, it seems to me that if information is inadmissible in making their case, law enforcement should have no access to it and, probably, neither should anyone else.

- jcgrillo 2y agoYeah I agree it all adds up to nothing good.
- Intralexical 2y ago> They're a lot more likely to not get shot by the suspect if they know they're asleep. Are they even? Or, can they know that? If the suspect has a gun, they'll wake up scared, confused, and with every reason to believe somebody's illegally breaking and entering.
