Whatever goes wrong in the world of cops, should be made right in the world of judges and lawyers. If evidence that is seized in violation of the law can be used anyway, where's the brakes? If you think I want to get rid of the exclusionary rule you are incorrect. I agree the courts should make it right. I'm just struggling to find the violation. If there's no real violation, or a meaningless violation, then we are foolish if we exclude. I am tired of this one as well, as I mentioned earlier. I may take the time to read the whole opinion if I get a second wind. Or I may wait until the next season of Law & Order. We won't really know what this means until we see how/if the cops' SOPs change. Somewhere out there are policy guys in police departments determining how/if to change the rules of engagement and putting together training. I imagine that L&O will give us the first, best reading of how that plays out. <g>
