The former is easier to see in this specific instance, but the latter is much more important for society. But there are two very important differences: one of consent, and the other of trust. For example, an undercover policeman can legitimately look around and report on what he sees when he invited into a suspect's home under the pretext of trying to buy drugs. The FBI claims that their actions are no different from any conventional sting operation. To make matters even worse, they lied to the judge about how they got their evidence. They filmed and recorded everything under the pretense of fixing the Internet, and then used the information collected from that to get an actual search warrant. When the guests complained to the hotel, FBI agents wearing hidden cameras and recorders pretended to be Internet repair technicians and convinced the guests to let them in. So instead they repeatedly cut the guests’ Internet connection. They enlisted the police and the FBI, but could not provide enough evidence for them to get a warrant. The hotel suspected that they were running an illegal gambling operation out of their room. In June, Two wealthy Macau residents stayed at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. You can't give consent to something you don't know and understand. If it is, the country will slide even further into a society where the police have even more unchecked power than they already possess. courts will decide whether this sort of practice is legal.
Eventually-I'm sure there will be appeals-higher U.S. This happened in the United States, and by the FBI. Unbelievably, this isn't a story from some totalitarian government on the other side of an ocean. This chilling scenario is the first paragraph of a motion to suppress evidence gathered by the police in exactly this manner, from a hotel room. But that makes no difference, because by letting him in, you will have 'consented' to an intrusive search of your home.
He will have no reason to suspect you have broken the law, much less probable cause to obtain a search warrant.
Actually, he will be videotaping everything (and everyone) inside. He will walk through each room of your house, claiming to diagnose the problem. He will have secretly disconnected the service, knowing that you will naturally call for help and-when he shows up at your door, impersonating a technician-let him in. The next time you call for assistance because the Internet service in your home is not working, the 'technician' who comes to your door may actually be an undercover government agent.
