> that still allows law enforcement to do their job?

Do libraries not keeping records of who has read what books not allow law enforcement to do their job?

Do prohibitions against arbitrary searches not allow law enforcement to do their job?

Does having to make a plausible argument in front of a judge not allow law enforcement to do their job?

Do individuals not having a number tattooed on their forehead not allow law enforcement to do their job?

Law enforcement continually frames any pereceived difficulty as if it is prevents them, which is utterly disingenuous. Law enforcement's "job" is to operate within the constraints of a free society composed of innocent people, in spite of the extra work from not being able to just shoot the bad guy like in the movies. When they don't respect this, they're merely another criminal element.
