Sometimes you "just know." It can't be explained and it can't be taught.

It's like the BS meter on FR, sometimes you "just know."

Granted. But... "your Honor, I just had a gut feeling based on my well refined senses from 22 years of law enforcement experience" won't hold much water in our legal system. Or should I say, at least it's not supposed to. Your point is well taken though.

Yep. The evidence used to substantiate the gut feelings. Isn't it wonderful that evidence doesn't mean anything anymore?

Wonder if the judge returned the drugs to the two "victims" of profiling since it was obviously fruit of the poisoned tree.

Doesn't that pretty much say that 22 years of experience is worthless? I would offer that reality should be recognized that when a hunch turns out to be on the money it is time to congratulate for a job well done rather than hide away the truth that was gained.
