I thought the main point I made in my article came in the last paragraph, as this applies to the prosecution of Trump and people associated with him.

As to any meth casualties... The cops know who this guy is, and can and should catch him soon.

[a fool in paradise]

I agree that you can remove a secretly installed tracking device

just pointing out that sjw judges are several levels beyond this today

[wgmalabama]

My bad. I agree that some rulings do make me go WTF.

[PAR35]

They ought to sanction the judge that issued the warrant. If the cops were bad, the judge was worse.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Maybe.

But the fact is that they have gone after him in a case where they were proven to have broken the law in the past. This is going to cast a shadow over any charges they bring against him in the future.

They can ameliorate this problem by firing the guilty cops but they will not.

And I understand your point but I thought I would point out some of the other bad outcomes of the police trying to skirt the law.

It works out fine on TV. In real life, not so much.

I would have gone to a local truck stop and attached it to a random OTR semi.

And I understand your point but I thought I would point out some of the other bad outcomes of the police trying to skirt the law.

I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that since this dealer is so obviously guilty, guilty, guilty, the judge should have overlooked the cops carelessness. My bad. Sure, as a consequence of their actions, this guy gets a free pass to continue harming people until the cops catch him the right way. We both agree on that.

He should have put the tracker in a box and mailed it to china.

Ah. No.

There was no reason why they could not have followed the law. No excuse for their actions and while I am not pleased that a drug dealer is going free I am even less pleased that the police officers who violated the law are getting a free pass.

I would just tell everyone that if you left a cupcake on my desk, that would be akin to leaving something in the Bermuda Triangle.

Everyone knows, that things disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Strange how a cupcake can disappear just like an airplane. ;->)
