    It’s not admissible in court, is it? Maybe that’s why they have nothing to show for it? Obviously, that makes it pretty useless.

      Useless for justice, but if there was no purpose it wouldnt keep getting renewed. Information is power even if its never used.

      Parallel construction is their trick and is totally cool and fully legal according to our courts. We have no rights, only temporary freedoms.

      That’s a fun thought experiment. One way I think this could work is you find out someone is doing something illegal, so you have someone call in an “anonymous tip” which you use to get a search warrant, find what you already know is there, and then it’s fully “legal”
