You should never get let of “on a technicality”
If a cop does something ILLEGAL to discover your crime, then you BOTH did something illegal. And both should be charged.
But if you get arrested and spill your guts- before they “read you your rights” then you’re a dumbass. Its not their fault you are. You were probably a dumbass long before you met them.
I have mixed feelings on this; on the one hand there are cases where the suspect wouldn't have done anything illegal without influence from the authorities — think about entrapment and the reason a lot of people are suspicious of [citizen-formed] militia.
Absurd. .Gov has enough power. Giving it more, will not make the world a better place.
But maybe you DIDN’T do something illegal. That’s the point of due process, if that is violated you could be coerced into false confession or false evidence could be created. Truly nobody gets out on a technicality, that’s pure TV mumbo jumbo, what happens is evidence becomes inadmissible and without that evidence the case cannot be proved. We have a system deliberately designed to err on the side of NOT jailing people.
