I find it astonishing, and horribly upsetting, that people think needing a warrant is horrible.
Needing a warrant, means you have to articulate why you want to invade someone's private life, and it further provides a chain of accountability.
It prevents rogue employees(peace officer, border patrol) from doing whatever they want, it provides oversight, it provides a second set of eyes, it provides for adherence to legislation and court decisions!
Yet I see people thinking it's some sort of horrible requirement. So bizarre.
