This is also why police won’t respond to reports of gunshots or violent screams coming from a house. It’s 99% likely that someone is being brutally killed, but it’s also entirely possible they were just watching a violent movie on a loud TV, or that the witness reporting what they heard dreamed it or was hearing things, or just lied. Thus, it’s important not to issue warrants, measures designed to help verify circumstantial evidence of a crime, out of the absolutely miniscule chance that the circumstantial evidence is incorrect.
Oh wait, no, everything I just said is insane. I guess cops and judges are just lazy.
