This is far more troubling overall than our concerns about uneven application of the 2nd amendment. Here we've given license to LEO to do whatever they want and they get free pass. Our constitution is dead if this stands. Tie this with 2nd amendment restrictions or denials and we have LEO that can break into our homes, ransack them, take our guns, and whatever. They are excused, we get tried for whatever they think is illegal. Incredible. Frightening.

We should demand those justices allowing this should resign or be removed from the court. They no longer represent us or have competence to sit on the court.

The Supreme Court determined that the “poisonous fruit” of a police officer’s stop of a citizen can be used against them at trial.

That always was an idiotic doctrine. It requires those tasked with law enforcement to ignore evidence of a crime. The proper response is to charge police officers with a crime when they seize evidence illegally rather than letting a criminal go.

Letting both the criminal go and the criminally behaved police go, is the worst possible solution.

I’ve always had mixed feelings about that one. Too many REAL criminals get off because a cop with a “hunch” based on years of experience stops him, discovers the crime, but makes a mistake that allows the scum to wiggle free.

But better ten guilty go free than one innocent be convicted, I guess.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Yes, I have.

Nothing to it. The perp was a wanted man, a fugitive. He was arrested, and searched incident to the arrest. Evidence of new criminal activity was found. He was charged with a new crime and convicted.

What’s he problem?

It’s a typical crap decision we should pretty much expect from the supreme court these days. The police get an almost unlimited “benefit of the doubt” so as not to slow down the freight train of the legal system.

Pretty much the entire concept of “fruit of the poisoned tree” has been steadily whittled away for more than a decade.

Don’t get out of the car. Your castle on wheels.

And FReepmail me for a low-priced legal company, like insurance. NO. I don’t sell it or have any interest in it, other than that I have it, too, and have for years.

Hyperbole is the rule of the day on the net. Everything is “best ever”, “funniest ever” yada yada yada with millions of bloggers trying to get hits. The guy who invented this headline is a lying @ss and should be eternally ignored.

We have thousands of lampposts not in use at the moment.
