Responsibility is a headache. Even better than covering your ass is not having to.
Judges should be issuing warrants for searches, and denying them when appropriate. But what if a judge appropriately denies a warrant for an overly broad search with no evidence of wrong doing on the part of those being searched, and then a building is blown up and it turns out the overly broad search would have caught the bastard? The judge acted appropriately, but he'll be crucified none-the-less.
Too many people don't want to take the responsibility for doing the right thing and having bad come of it, so they'd rather do nothing, or even the wrong thing.
