I don't see the issue here. The law is not meant to protect criminals. It is there to protect privacy and private property. It there so you don't have to deal with the private humility of being fondled by and officer looking for a weapon, or the public humility of having your earwax collection uncovered and revealed by a curious officer or having your vehicle commandeered for a 'training mission'. It is not there for criminals to hide behind.
