Once in a blue moon, SCOTUS these days gets it right. Which is good!
A shame we don’t have more blue moons.

It relies upon the police to be honest about their usage of nearly invisible hacking.
I think it is the correct ruling, but I have no faith in any US executive officers. The unitary executive theory is an extension of qualified immunity.
So the court can cover its own ass with this ruling, but the police don’t have to care about no laws.

True; this ruling is useless without enforcement.

Who enforces the enforcemen?

I’m not sure. I don’t blame the police totally. They are actually humans in an abusive system, too. Their departments dehumanizes them to get them to do abusive stuff. And I have no idea what lever of the ones humans have self-discovered to pull on to make it so that they only do good.
I’ve actually written a bunch of journals about it uselessly. When I have discovered what I thought was just a cherry genius idea I pretty quickly find not only has it been implemented in some departments … it usually has been gamed into fraud by some broken police officers, too.
So I have no ideas but i still think and write about it.
