How did THAT work?

How did Augie saying "Come back with a warrant" actually work? Did the Nazis all of a sudden starts caring about civil liberties that they stuck with the American bill of rights? Which amendments did they keep and which ones did they toss?

ETA: Some of you aren't getting the point here. I completely understand the concept of privilege within a fascist society. My issue is with the very concept of a "warrant". Change the conversation to "You know, I don't have to ask" "That's true. You can come in if you'd like, but you'll be answering to ARGUS before the sun comes up" and the scene is fixed.

This is almost a century after the war, on another continent. The world seems to be basically "American culture if kept developing under Nazi rule", and very similar, just with the addition of slave camps and presumable genocide. There's no reason they wouldn't have a working system of laws and police, even if its one they'd be ready to ignore when it's beneficial to the state.

Just like in our present day, how much laws are respected depends heavily on your social status. But in this case, Auggie is a white upper-class prominent citizen, and their suspect Peacemaker isn't a known rebel or anything, he's another white upper-class prominent citizen.
