OP says that they left out information (which cops do all the time) but that the warrant shouldn't have been granted either way because of SCOTUS precedent.

Would welcome reform that makes it harder to lie on warrant affidavits, although again, that should be civil in nature.

Yes, we call that lying by omission.

They knew that information would result in the warrant not being granted, so they left it out.
