Say goodbye, 4th amendment.

Reagan and the Bushes have done their job well.
Oh sure, it's just for drug dealers, it'll never affect _US_.
Of course, the police just have to believe you're committing a crime. You know. A child goes missing in your neighborhood. ANYONE could be the abductor. Better smash down the doors of every house. I SWEAR I thought I heard a baby crying!
Me, I don't smoke pot. I don't have any illegal downloads. All my software is registered and legal. So yeah, it'll probably never affect _ME_... Although... When I lived in an apartment, I did sometimes take the battery out of the smoke alarm because it went off when I got out of the shower. That's a crime.
Sure, I'd be paranoid to think they police are going to haul me off for tampering with a fire alarm in my own apartment. But if I were some 'undesirable' minority in a place where they 'don't like my kind', it might be enough.
