It's not clear to me that armed men busting down people's doors at 3am is a preferable model.


That's exactly what this could be the precedent to prevent. The mistaken pornographer case showed that an IP is not necessarily evidence enough for a warrant, esp. a no-knock warrant. It will quite possibly lead to requiring more evidence than just an IP in the future.


Not all search warrants are no-knock warrants.
