From the decision:

"Searches and seizures based on mistakes of fact may be reasonable."

So in other words, all those no-knock raids on the wrong address because some flatfoot didn't do his homework are now fully justified and excusable under this ruling.

This will not end well.

No, more like: the raid commences, the SWAT team knocks on what they think is the right door, resident answers, fails to clarify whether it’s the right or wrong house, SWAT team asks if they can search, resident consents, and while it turns out to be the wrong house the team finds a meth lab.
