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.
