This is particularly bad for a country like India where the police already has too many powers: they don't need a warrant for many things. By "need", I mean it's not that the Constitution doesn't require them to, but it's not enforced. So much so, if you are a "no-one" (means you don't have any "political connections"), the police can come to your place, search it, and arrest you and put you in lockup. All without requiring a warrant. Good luck complaining. (Of course the police requires a warrant when dealing with politicians, since they can't touch them.)
Now given the police state India already is, this is more dangerous. Why? Because the police has too many powers, they don't need warrants and now the state has the capability to spy completely on its citizens. I can only see glaring human rights violation coming out of this.
