I really don't see this as the same aversion to the Constitution that you do.
What would you have done if you were a LEO and someone told you a man just pledged allegiance to a Terrorist organization?
Talk to the person it was about, check into the credibility before handcuffing him. Someone making an accusation isn't probable cause for detaining an individual. It is a violation of the Constitution, whether you acknowledge it or not.
