Førward, baby !
NO!!!!
I don’t see this ruling surviving federal court scrutiny, under the “fruits of the poisonous tree” doctrine.
So, do y’all think America as you have known it still exists? If you do, you need to pull your head out of your posterior.
Førward, baby !
Pendulum swung so far to the side of the criminals for so long in terms of interpretation of what’s a reasonable search this was bound to happen.
Liberal/leftists had taken over the entire court system.
Mapp vs Ohio.
This is a terribly raw abuse, and should be appealed to the 5th Circuit on three grounds.
1) Unless there is an audio recording of the informant, there is no evidence that the information was not just fabricated by the police.
2) While information received is useful, it should be insufficient *by itself* for a warranted search, much less a search without a warrant. Warrantless searches are an abomination, and should only be used on rare occasions when time is critical. In which circumstances they must be specially justified after the fact. If they cannot be justified after the fact, than those who applied for them should be liable.
3) Seeking a warrant to justify a search based on evidence that was inadmissible should transfer that inadmissibility. The evidence was tainted, so it should remain tainted.
You would think the Libs would be screaming. They love the 5th, but hate all the other amendments.
Criminals or not, this is just plain wrong.
I’ve always had a problem with the exclusionary rule. Evidence of guilt is still evidence of guilt. With the exclusionary rule, the wrong doers get a pass, both those on the perpetrator side and the law enforcement side. The one’s harmed are the victims and the general public.
I’d rather see the evidence used and those in law enforcement who violated the constitution punished appropriately. Yeah, I know...like that’s going to happen.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Just remember though, Texas is the greatest conservative state in the union. Just ask any Texas FReeper.
Wasn’t this decision issued back in Dec. 2103? Or is
this something as a followup to that decision?
That Police State knows no region or level of government it seems. Fascism everywhere.
So the police can come into your home, search through it scatter trash all over the place and if they find nothing proceed onto the next house to repeat the same process and leave the home in ruins with no recourse from the innocent homeowner.
Another mind numbingly stupid ruling from the courts and then it has the prosecutors applauding.
“Prosecutors applaud decision allowing police to break law.”
What is wrong with this picture?

It is the entire court system in this country that has destroyed the constitution and initiated the conditions necessary to end this country. As long as the courts have the power to corrupt then we are doomed.
Yes,,, and Texas is such a free state. /s
While it should be an offense, under law, to illegally obtain evidence, and those who do it or allow it should be dealt with, under the law. However, that should be held separate from “the evidence”, as it pertains to any facts in a case; it “the evidence” should not be condemned; it is either germane to a case, or not, as a trial and a jury can determine.
People should not be “not guilty” by reason of good evidence, that might have convicted them, being denied the light of day. Condemn HOW some evidence may have been obtained, and those responsible - not the evidence.
