[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Stopped clock syndrome. :-)

[Robert DeLong]

A lot depends on the crime I would say. For example, if you knew someone had abducted your daughter and the police tracked the person by his cell phone to find his location. The police surround the location, but unfortunately the person has already killed your daughter. Would you want a judge to rule that they had to let the person go because they did not have a warrant? Remember time was of the essence, and in this scenario they did not waste the time to secure a warrant.

Now of course I have given a worse case scenario here, but with this ruling it would apply in that situation as well.

How does the system create laws that safeguard the innocent while targeting the guilty? It may not even be possible. So certainly it is a tough thing to answer whether the judge was right or wrong, because in so many instances it is debatable. Some would say that obtaining the warrant is the right approach, while others would say the girl's safety was more important, so not securing the warrant is the way to go. Who is right?
