Maybe this isn’t practical, or maybe it’s not usually a critical warrant demanding that kind of manpower outlay? Just curious what the LEO’s here have to say about it.
So they wait in an attempt to catch him on Main Street and in the waiting he decides to kill his wife and tomorrow the newspaper says "Police had evidence man posed risk to wife but did NOTHING."
Not saying you are wrong, for example they "could" have done that in Waco with Koresh, but Reno specifically wanted the daylight raid for the news cameras so they could put scary guns on the table in front of the scary church people.
But this one sounds like it could have been more imminent and made "wait and see" less of an option. With police work, despite the operational plan, you don't really know what is going to happen until it happens. It's easy to fall victim to established patterns and expect and certain level of compliance and when that doesn't happen most guys really aren't fully prepared for it.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
