I don't think we are against code enforcement, but warrant issued
for suspicion can easily be abused. I think the codes are good,

warrant because my lawn seems too long so he suspects faulty wiring.

Even the FBI can't get a warrant based on "suspicion."

"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 or things to be seized."

The above does not apply to the TSA or the Border Patrol.

Not since the "Patriot Act"

Search warrants NEVER applied to the Border Patrol. The TSA operates
entirely on "voluntary" searches for which no warrant is needed.

Voluntary, as in, "Sir, you have two choices. I can search you, then you
can get on the plane. You can refuse to be searched, and you will not get
on the plane. Which is your voluntary choice?"
