The next clause deals with warrants, so perhaps you meant some other clause.

If you did, it is not at all true that searches must be authorized by warrants to be reasonable, are warrants are de facto proof of reasonableness but are not required for some searches to be reasonable. For example, police arrest an armed man trying to escape after he robbed a store. Must they first get a warrant before searching him? Reasonable people say no.

Reasonable people don't equate catching someone during the commission of a crime with the constant monitoring of a citizenry whose "probable cause" to commit a crime is non-existent and, in fact, has not even been alleged.
