We're going to have to agree to disagree here then. If cops would have covered all their bases, like going out of their way to get a warrant and such we wouldn't be having this discussion, now would we?

Betcha we would. Judge would have found a way to throw it out. I don't know about you, but I find it a bit refreshing that the police attempt to get the consent of the suspect before barging into the house. Just imagine how this precident effects other areas of law. A woman who consents to sex can come back weeks later and claim rape because she regretted it the next morning. A patient can sue a surgeon -- for successful surgery -- because he can claim the papers he signed were "coerced". Every confession should be thrown out because the DA should have taken it to court instead of plea bargain.

If bases are covered, if the case is open and shut, the judge has no choice in the matter. Perhaps this judge had some sort of bone to pick, and I think he did, the way these guys went about this investigation gave the judge the exact ammunition he needed.
