Cops circumvent the 4th Amendment, everything works out great!

Yeah, not really. "Code inspectors." How cute. You know, in that fascist way.

TheAgitator.com: "Code Inspectors" Target Wrong House, Cop Shoots Dog, Hits Mom, Daughter: Comments:

"Police are increasingly going to homes with agents from regulatory agents under the guise of 'code inspections.' Once inside, they then search for criminal misconduct. The process negates the need for a search warrant because it's allegedly a regulatory inspection, not a police search.

...Looks like that was the case last week in Stockton, California. A "code enforcement" team paid a visit to a family after a neighbor complained of drug use. The police claim they heard someone run to the back of the house. So an officer went around to the back door. That's when the family dog ran out, toward the officer. He fired at the dog, hitting in the paw, and fragments of the bullet then also struck a woman and her daughter.

Turns out, the code enforcement team had the wrong address."
