Yeah this is not an exact case, the quote mentions the warrant part as well (that is why I pasted that part in), but thought it was similar because it is still Federal agents, in their line of duty, and court declared they get to disregard state laws.<p>The other interesting aspect is this is looked what Federal agents can do, not &quot;How can we protect the privacy of our citizens? Let&#x27;s see what we can do for them. Maybe they are entitled to more privacy because they live in California&quot;. This mirrors the attitude of the &quot;expert&quot; in the story, they just see the Constitution as an inconveniance you need to bypass in order to get your job done.
