>I don't have to make arrangements to go get my home when it is searched

They could however, break your door (if you're not there to let them in), and AFAIK they're not responsible for getting it fixed.

>Also, if you're searching my house, more than likely, I'm directly involved in something.

That's irrelevant. The standard for a search warrant is "probable cause" regardless.

>They don't break into my house to get my Ring footage, which is much more equivalent in your attempt equating these disparate concepts.

...because the ring footage isn't in your house, it's in the cloud. Moreover, if you have an on-premise system and you're on vacation or something, it's plausible that they get a search warrant and break in, especially if they think time is of the essence (eg. your system has limited retention and the footage is going to be wiped).

>You could just as easily boot the car and wait for the owner to return.

If you read the article the police claims that it's only used if they can't locate the owner. It's unclear what that exactly means, but it's not like they're towing every tesla near the crime scene.



"If you read the article" is such a lame comment. In other comments in this thread, I've literally quoted the article. How in the world could I have pulled a quote without reading the article.

It's clear you and I have polar opposite sentiments regarding this. So I'll leave it here as you are quite tiresome

Unlike some commenters I don't check a commenter's entire comment history before making comments. In fact, I don't even keep good track of what everyone said in a particular thread, so forgive me if I didn't do enough due diligence before making a vague implication that you didn't read the article. That said, you need to chill out. If you can't handle a vague implication that you didn't read the article, maybe online forum commenting isn't for you.
