He was charged with perjury not posession. The warrant issue would not even apply to the charge he was facing, but he was freed anyway.

Well, this is the "fruit of the poisoned tree" argument. Since the warrant was bad, everything that happened later was bad as well.

We view these stories through the lens of our own prejudices. You see this as a story about a corrupt Clintonian judge. I see it as a story about the increasing work the police have to do to get over judges' absurd fourth amendment rulings. realpatriot71 seems to have issues with police. I can guess what they are, but it's not relevant to this discussion. It is frustrating when some people are so insistent on their prejudices that they cannot let go or acknowledge that a particular story does not fit into their template.
