"Due process means only a court can judge there to be probable cause, and that a search can only be done after it issues a warrant. A court would never rule probable to exist based on the type of formulaic rationale you're using."

Except they can (in practice and in contradiction to rules), and have done similar things in the past. The system really doesn't care about people's rights, mistakes are endemic and ignored, and it is more interested punishing people or collecting money than actual justice. At least that has been my experience.
