Yes, it does bother me which is why I stated my position the way I
did. If they are demanding the routine privilege of employing this as
an investigative technique, I'd tell them to go to hell. However, if
they have enough other persuasive evidence to convince a judge that
they need this procedure to gather evidence needed for a conviction I
wouldn't rule it out. Of course if an investigator makes such
requests and no further evidence is found then he will lose
credibility and he may get his toys taken away.
