Don't give them ideas. Too many police departments already don't believe in the 4th Amendment. Stop and frisk is only the tip of the iceberg. Look at all the SWAT team, dynamic entry "warrant services" that get carried out at incorrect addresses, or at addresses where the person they're looking for moved out six months or a year prior. A search warrant "service" is supposed to imply that you hand the warrant to the person at the door and allow them to read it. If that were being done, most of such erroneous raids would be eliminated because the occupant could just say, "This is for 238 North Main street, and we're at 238 SOUTH Main Street." Or, "I'm not John Doe. He was the previous owner, my name is Priscilla Smith and I bought this house four months ago."
But it's so much more fun to smash down doors and terrorize people at oh-dark-thirty ...
