Any smart, ethical police department would go for a warrant. I'm friends with someone in law enforcement and they say the last thing they want is evidence tossed. Often they get warrants they don't even need just so there isn't a chance of having evidence tossed later.

Having dealt with police throughout various stages of my life(never as a suspect,or offender),all I can say is that they lie,cheat and misinform people. I'm sure there are plenty of decent people out there but the force has plenty of those with broken moralle compasses.

They probably can't get warrants for what they are doing, which is trawling large swaths of traffic hoping to find something useful.
