I more or less get why police might think this is a "safety" measure, but if they can't see the abuse potential of this device we should not buy it for them:

Let's read the pertinent rule again:
US Constitution, Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Since the cops now have a type of "x-ray vision" should we just say everything is "in plain sight" and a warrant is no longer needed?
Technology may be your master, but it is not your friend.
