These are the fruits of the abuse of the fourth amendment. This action is a prime example of why (ethics and liberties aside) getting carried away with surveillance and warrentless snooping was ultimately a bad idea even for those who were doing it. There are reasons for fair treatment of citizens that stem directly from practicality. But lack of foresight and hubris seem all too common with government officials as of late.
