This story just goes to show what happens when police jump to conclusions based on one suspicious factor -- without looking at other factors for corroboration.  One might ask -- why did the judge give them the search warrant on such flimsy evidence?  Unfortunately, although the warrant requirement is there to assure that a neutral, disinterested magistrate or judge reviews the allegations and concludes that there is probable cause, sometimes apparently they don't bother reading the affidavit supporting the warrant before signing off on it.
