DK, I finally got a chance to read the Maye link that you posted. Assuming that Wikipedia is accurate (I actually cringed writing that phrase), then I still don't see how this particular case is a big 4th Amendment test. The controversy seems to center around whether or not the police announced before entering, but I didn't see any activity that seemed like a blantant violation of the 4th. There was probable cause at the time (although in retrospect it was wrong), the warrant described what and where was being search and for what purpose. In your very first post, you mentioned that the warrant did not list Maye's address, but Wikipedia says the opposite although it allows that it does not mention Maye specifically. Again, I don't find this unreasonable given the nature of the alleged crime.
