Um, no; this just shows that Texas has no sense of jurisprudence — if they cannot have those who are tasked with enforcing the law to keep the law then they have surrendered the integrity of the whole judicial system.
Some people on this thread are happy to stomp on Texas but it is FEDERAL LAW that caused this judge's decision. Texas law is second to federal law just as every state is.
According to this federal law, there has to be a confidential informant before this entering without a warrant can be done. Evidently the police knew this informant, likely “their” informant. Bubba down at the bar can't call and get police to enter someone’s house without a warrant.
Change the federal law that caused this.
“...who cited as his grounds to reject Wehrenberg’s appeal the federal Independent Source Doctrine, “…a legally questionable concept that permits illegally seized evidence that was mentioned to police by a third party beforehand.”
“Writing for the majority, Criminal Appeals Court Judge Elsa Alcala agreed that, “…while Texas’ “exclusionary rule” bans illegally seized evidence from trial, federal precedent dictates that it can be introduced if it was first confirmed by an independent source.”
