The Supreme Court ruling in Utah v Strieff awarded the police total freedom to stop any citizen, at any time, to do whatever they desire. The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial. This has wiped out, in reality, any constitutional protection you thought you had. This is a sad day for the United States, for the Supreme Court has officially created a full-blown police state and clearly has no intention of honoring why this nation began the entire American Revolution — to prevent illegal searches that allowed the king to look for anything he could use to prosecute citizens.
The Supreme Court ruled that even though the officer had initially violated a person’s rights (in other words, the Constitution) the officer’s conduct was “at most negligent” and the result of “good-faith mistakes.” This language is a wink and nod to the police who only have to claim they made a mistake that was not intentional and they walk free. We have witnessed police outrageously murder citizens, but the police officers involved are usually not charged. Now, with this decision, the United States has become exactly as Ukraine stood before the people revolted.

The State has not been your servant for decades. You are their tax slave, at best.
If the cops pinch a person who is not on probation or otherwise personally in view of the law, the usual (weak) fourth amendment applies. If the government thinks the search was unreasonable (which amounts to absence of any reason to have suspicion), then it won't use the evidence against you.
PING!
I tell you people and I keep telling you people, it’s in the water...you drink it and you become totally insane instantly...
I’m sitting here shaking my head...Welcome to Utah, the United Police State of America...
Best to fly below the RADAR, and go Galt.
The SCOTUS doesn’t “rule” it “opines”
This is a good thing. We now can send armies of law enforcement into Chicago and stop the wanton slaughter of black people by the thousands including a 3 year old child last week end. Let’s mount up!!
This is a duplicate thread on this topic I posted yesterday.
Although this SCOTUS ruling is yet additional erosion of our 4th and 5th Ammendments, there is more to it than Armstrong’s blogging indicates.

U may not be wacko, as it turns out......
Total nonsense. If you don’t have a warrant for your arrest outstanding then this ruling wouldn’t effect you at all.

The thread on the Court's decision is here. FWIW, the majority opinion was by Thomas and the dissent by Sotomayor.
Well this sure sounds like something different than what that blazing jeremiad makes it out to be.
We should try not to be played.
The Supreme Court Just Created a Full-Blown Police State

Too much drama.
The ruling was consistent with others. If you don’t have an arrest warrant this ruling won’t affect you. And even if you do the probability is this ruling won’t affect you either.
Nobody’s bothering to even understand this. They are just knee jerking and chesty thumping.
