In this case the police did not get any authorization, and simply did it on their own with the claim that they could do it because it was for the good of the community.

This is a good ruling - I really don't think we want law enforcement being able to search your home whenever they want as long as they can make the claim that it might be for the good of the public. This is why it was a 9-0 ruling.
