“Of course, they can always plant something during the search, but somehow I suspect most of the claims that this happened are from people with little credibility on the subject.”
Familiar with the Ramparts scandal in LA?
Yup.
Are you familiar with the fact that every single druggie who gets caught in possession claims that the cops planted the evidence?
Do you remember the OJ trial, where the defense claimed the evidence was planted?
Hopefully, my claims of police misconduct, due to my zero contact with the law during my life, would have greater credibility than some guy with a three-page rap sheet.
C'mon that doesnt count, that happened against "inner city" folk, and they probably deserved it any way...
just like the "small town" folks that got "caught up" in Tulia, TX ... that was just a good cop trying to get bad trash off the street ...
/I really hope the sarcasm was noted there ...
