Your honor, my client was unfortunately subject to unreasonable search and seizure at the hands of brutish police officers who demonstrated no respect for the rule of law. They invaded my clients home without probable cause, and without following due process, in response to unfounded allegations of the presence of a "rape dungeon" within the premises. In light of this grave, and disgusting abuse of the rights of the defendant shown by the police department, we demand that the bodies of the 14 missing toddlers in question, found in my clients rape dungeon, be thrown out of court.

Granted. Officer Stevens, what the gently caress. Really.

Sorry, shiiiiiit

I'm almost in that crowd, and I would just say people have rights even after they're arrested. No, it's not okay for cops to arrest you, put you in jail, then search your stuff while you're locked up

Yeah, this is why said it was lovely probable cause. If this were the case every cop in the country could just "smell weed" in your car, lock you up, and then tear apart your whole life looking for evidence of any crime whatsoever. That's why we make them give probable cause for searches and poo poo, so we don't have to live in an even more ridiculous police state.



Maybe the real solution is to stop hiring retarded cops. (Seriously, if you can't even get a loving search right you probably shouldn't be roaming the streets with a loving gun.)

Ya, people always complain about the rich getting away with murder. I think really there are two issues at play. First, cops suck at their jobs and procedure routinely gets hosed up. Second, the rich can afford lawyers who are good at their jobs and can actually exploit procedural gently caress ups.

Goddamn it, police are the worst.

Goddamn it, police are the worst.

That's why I was rooting for O.J. during the trial, even when it became plainly obvious he'd done it: the LAPD and county just flat didn't do their jobs well enough (and/or behaved like shitheaded idiots) to earn a conviction by meeting the burden of proof, and any high-profile lawyer worth his suit is going to be able to sow reasonable doubt all over the place. I probably would have acquitted him, too, and for the same reason.

Of course, I reasoned at the time, "what harm could it do to let him walk? He'd be the most well-known and scrutinized acquitted murderer in living memory, what danger could he present to society?" And we know how that forecast turned out.

I'm friends with a guy that was one of Hernandez' best friends back at Bristol Central High. Showed me the yearbook, showed me photos of him literally partying with the guy. Apparently after he got drafted into the NFL, he never spoke to a single person from back home ever again. Then one day they turn on the TV and boom - Aaron murdered some dude. Pretty surreal.

I thought half the concern over Hernandez was that it was old friends from Bristol dragging him into the gang life to begin with. :confused:

This is about as honest a portrayal as claiming people who said it was OK for the NFL to undo Hernandez' guaranteed money were in favor of teams being able to just go around unguaranteeing money in everyones contracts all willy nilly. There's a little bit of a difference between public intox and being formally charged with the murder of several people. When it comes to the latter camp, I don't really care about freeman on the land nonsense. If there's evidence out there that can shed more light onto the case, get it.

:lol: If the crime you're suspected of is serious enough then you no longer have human rights. Got it. Maybe next time we should just torture the McMartin's and get straight to the confessions instead of wasting 7 years on a trial.

The right to a fair trial. What benefit is it to someone who's innocent to obfuscate the water? I'm going to prison for 40 years because of a flawed trial thanks to some of the evidence not coming to light, but it beats the loving pigs walking around in my beach house for an hour. The heavier the potential consequences are, the more important it becomes for the verdict to be absolutely 100% right.

There's also a right in the bill of rights to be protected from unreasonable search and seizure though. it's equally as important as a fair trial, and of course it's a component of a fair trial

Because you have a defense that can raise these types of objections and evidence for you without allowing the police access to every facet of your life based on an accusation?

I agree with that, and I know from a legal standpoint, it's probably not very subjective, but "unreasonable" is a subjective term. Did anyone think it was out of line for them to search Hernandez' primary home after the shooting? To look through his security footage, and dig through his dog house and all of that stuff with his family and the media there? How's his other apartment exempt from that?

People getting away with heinous poo poo because of technicalities or police incompetency is incredibly frustrating, but stuff like probable cause exists for a reason - and tossing it out in favor of "oh come on, just look at this case" would feel really good now but really terrible later when it sets a terrible precedent for police overreach.

They showed a judge they had prob cause and the judge agreed.

It sounds like in the other apartment case, they just submitted a blank or incomplete search warrant request and the judge signed off on it. As Fenster says, Goddamn right. No P.C.
