So where's the appeals court opinion sanctioning this type of thing? Without something like that, I don't see much precedential value.

Precedent doesn't work that way. All it means is that in a previous incident, a similar case was ruled on in a particular fashion, and typical jurisprudence is to stand by previous decisions unless there's a compelling reason not to.
