I also want to know who the crackhead was that decided that the state is obligated to outline the citizen's rights to him. Jefferson would laugh out loud. The citizen is supposed to know his rights as a safeguard

I still don't think this was shoddy at all. Under these standards any judge can throw out anything. With all confessions, for example, there is some level of persuasion. The witness consented to the police behavior. If he regrets it afterwards, tough for him.
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.
