Why should I have a problem with "judge we want to search this place?" The point of a search warrant isn't to establish guilt! It's merely to ensure that the search is connected to a legitimate investigation --- and legitimate dragnet investigations are common! --- and not as an instrument of harassment. |

They should not be, that is my point
The purpose of the 4th amendment is to require the police to have a probable reason that a crime has been committed, AND to define what EXACTLY they are looking for, and where EXACTLY they are looking for it at
the fact that judges can sign warrants for all computers in the nation, or entire city blocks should be considered unconstitutional
That is a General Warrant something the Founders were very very very very much opposed to
> not as an instrument of harassment.
General Warrants, which is what is being talked about here, are infact a instrument of harassment
Rubber Stamping Warrants with out any actual probable cause is also a instrument of Harassment
If you believe having your door busted down by armed men at 3am because you tossed the loose leaf tea in the trash bin is not harassment than I shutter to thing what your definition would be
