It depends on whether you believe you caught the right person in the first 
place.

What lots of people seem to be forgetting in this thread is that by far, the 
vast majority of the population is *not* breaking the law.  If there were no 
limits on the techniques the police could use to find criminals, then the 
99% of the people who are law-abiding would be subject to the same problems 
as the people who aren't. And the 99% of people who are law abiding are 
willing to let the guy with an open bottle of beer in the car go, so they 
don't get stopped and have the police rip *their* car apart in order to see 
if maybe there's any pot in a little baggy in the door panel or something.
