I'm not saying i condone the tax collector cops, but they DO have a purpose.

So by that token we should just allow the cops to kick in anyone's door at random and search them/check them for warrants? That's the extension of that logic - that the occasional ends justify the means and there should be no presumption of innocence of serious wrongdoing on the part of anyone in society who's just going about their business doing what everyone else does.

Pretty thin.
