well the law tends to disagree with you on the assuming part. if i stop a car, search the car by either consent or reasonable suspicion, and find drugs or weapons of any kind i am allowed to then search the entire car. the law believes that where there are drugs or weapons, there are more drugs and weapons.

so if i know the house contains 32 pounds of weed, the entire dwelling is in play for more drugs and a search is lawful.

I’m not in disagreement about executing a search warrant. I’m just saying that a dangerous, paramilitary raid is not justified or warranted.
