Like violating the "rights" of the cokehead supplier who is the subject of this article? The cops should be given a pat on the back. Unless, however, you are talking about executing the judge.
No, I mean that if it turns out the cop illegally searched a citizen. What if your house was illegally searched, and your family held at gunpoint? Would you think that is a capital offense?
If you do, then how, under law, are you going to discriminate between an upstanding person like yourself and people you think are scum?
