Actually, I have no problem with.

I've long felt that that exclusionary rule was really just a way for a desperate or crooked lawyer to get a crook off. Instead of that rule, the court could, say, direct that the cop(s) be fired. That would seem to provide quite sufficient incentive.

Thus, I think that the Miranda warning ought to be shortened to informing the suspect of his right to an attorney, even a court appointed one.
And I have no problem with that.

I will not go to allowing police- -any American police- -to use torture, though.
