Gotta go with the arrest for “plain view” evidence, but breaking down the door. . .not so much. What was the PC for that move?
.. In a 4-3 decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court just killed the rights of citizens outlined in the Fourth Amendment by stating that police officers may enter a home, or parts of the home, without a warrant and can seize evidence to use in the arrest and prosecution of citizens....
There has been a so called public safety exception to the Fourth Amendment for years. Most anything found during that kind of search can lead to prosecution. Cops love it.
“What was the PC for that move?”
Blood in the house. Making sure no one else was injured. I’m OK with that.
But, the defense says their real motive was that they knew they would find more pot. The devil’s in the details...how much blood? Where was it found? Etc....
I don’t know.
Don't worry, there's no way anyone would ever abuse that function.
would it have not ended like this any way....they do knock and talk here....if you do not open the door and let them in they just get a search warrant ( because you will not let them in to just talk)....would have a judge not granted a full search of the home once a officer reported finding marijuana ( big difference between home grow and street bought)and they do not mention any thing about the smell
