Don't we have other forms of surveillance, installing of cameras/microphones in people's homes and sting operations that could help catch people?

I think that demanding citizens incriminate themselves is an especially lazy form of justice.




I don’t think such techniques are readily and cheaply available to most police departments.


That's a good thing. It forces the police to actually do their homework rather than invade people's privacy whenever they want.
