One thing I've always appreciated in concept about American law is the idea that sometimes- we just say that the law enforcement can't do something because we (should) hold ourselves to a higher standard. Found out about something during an illegal search? Inadmissible. Think someone's selling drugs but don't have anything more than a hunch? Well, just can't do anything about that and you've gotta wait for a reason to search them. Yet, we're at a point that the boogey-man of 'terrorism' has made us throw that away for the concept of safety. Yes, I'm absolutely certain that if you're in the position to protect people and enforce the laws that its rather nice to be able to do anything to make that happen- but we've just got to accept some level of risk (and hazard) in exchange for them not violating everything just to create that risk-free perception.
