What is the current state of the law in the context of domestic violence cases?

The majority gives the government a pass because "the exigencies of domestic abuse cases present dangers that, in an appropriate case, may override considerations of privacy." Maj. op. at 1040 (quoting United States v. Brooks, 367 F.3d 1128, 1136 (9th Cir.2004)). The problem with this approach is that the government has any number of such crises-du-jour: terrorism, child pornography, child abuse, drugs, hate crimes the list is endless. When confronted with such serious crimes, it is the job of the police to be suspicious; the job of the courts is to insist that police develop evidence supporting these suspicions before they defile the sanctity of the home.
