Without a warrant, there is an absolute right to privacy. It continues to exist right up until either (a) one party chooses to give up that privacy or (b) a third party arrives with a Court Order.

In other words, a covenant to adhere to the rule of law and the courts in the event of any dispute between the parties or any third party. It sure seems like a good thing to me -- and a covenant I would hope anyone I do business adheres to.
