I’m saying that if the “emergency” standard was well described and followed consistently (and I agree with it), then I would OK granting amazon the power to manage this permission on my behalf.

Similarly, as a citizen of the country, I’m OK that judges can sign a warrant and manage permission on my behalf as well.

In an emergency, you might not be home, or you might be shot.

None of which precludes them from asking first, or attempting to.

You might be off on holiday, or asleep, or in hospital under anaesthesia, and the police might not be able to get in touch with you quickly.
