If either one of you was being investigated for robbery and, when the cops can't find anything, they decide to turn around to investigate whether you've been selling drugs, paying your taxes, looking into what your friends are doing, search your computers just in case you have child porn, etc, you might understandably cry foul. And that's the fundamental issue with fishing expeditions, you keep digging until you something -- anything -- and sooner or later you're going to find that somebody has broken a law of some kind.
Well, first of all, if that happened to me, no evidence of a crime would be found. Second of all, if they were investigating me for robbery, and they found a baggie of meth at the scene of the crime, and then watched the security camera footage that showed me dropping it and charged me for it? Yeah, that'd be fair, and it's more or less what happened here.
