The thing that really gets me is the "power" to enter our homes. The way my mind works, I can easily see how this could led to a complete misuse of power. I've been "intimidated" by cops using their rights and confronted me with fabricated information. What is to stop an officer from doing whatever he/she wishes? I respect the police and wish than in a perfect world, they would not misuse this freedom to enter ones home (or any of their freedoms). But I live in California (and 35 minutes away from where the Daniel Thompson incident occurred)... I just hope that this ruling doesn't stand.
