Well, we could make the job of law enforcement really easy. Let them search entire city blocks. What are warrants for anyway? For protecting criminals, duh!! Seriously though, they're more than adequately funded and militarized post 911. I'm sorry their jobs have limitations, but really, that's by design.

I'm concerned about the bias you bring to the table related to your previous career in law enforcement. If I spent years fighting against money laundering I'd think it was the absolute evil, to be fought at all costs. I'm glad you're seeking outside opinions. I just hope you use them rather than falling back on that bias. There's a bigger picture here that you'd otherwise miss.
