Texas prosecutors are applauding a decision by the State Court of Criminal Appeals which provides police officers a second chance to present evidence which has been gathered contrary to Texas law and the 4th Amendment. The ruling literally offers law enforcement a “do-over;” an opportunity to secure a search warrant AFTER a home has been illegally searched and AFTER evidence has been improperly obtained.
In 2010, police in Parker County, Texas received a call from a confidential informant (CI) who claimed that Fred Wehrenberg and a number of associates “were fixin’” to cook meth.

NO!!!!

You got that right.
No. Just no.

Mapp vs Ohio.
I don’t see this ruling surviving federal court scrutiny, under the “fruits of the poisonous tree” doctrine.

Freezers should be Freepers, of course.
