Once again, that "War on Drugs" exception to the 4th Amendment applies....

The War on Drugs should be ended because it has become a War On The Bill of Rights.

"All agree: the DEA entry team entered Huskisson's house unlawfully" One should stop right there and ask the question why have the DEA agents that did this unlawful act not been charged? The answer is clear, government people are above the law.

Laws no longer matter.

We're in a post-Constutional period now.

We're essentially at the point where Wiley-E-Coyote has run off the cliff, is hanging in mid-air, and is holding the "help" sign, right before he plummets into the abyss.

Laws that violate the 2nd are willingly enforced daily. Judges and presidents and senators thinking they can ban shit willy-nilly... and not only does NOTHING happen to them, they fucking get re-elected.

I know right from wrong. I also understand the Constitution and what the FF meant by it. I follow the laws i agree with, and ignore those i don't.

Im about to commit multiple breaches of the law when i step off this morning, like i do every morning.

Eat a dick: illegal laws, those that create said laws, those that enforce them, and those that abide by them.

You're not American. Get the fuck out of my country.

If they had probable cause why not get a warrant?

The full story is the police acted illegally and are rewarded for it. This is where police should be sent to jail.

It says they saw drugs in his kitchen which makes me think it’s in plain view.  Maybe they saw it from outside a window and worried that he would destroy the evidence before a warrant could be obtained.  You are completely right, there are lots of what ifs.  I’d like to know the full story before developing an opinion. Otherwise I’d be just like the “my baby didn’t do nuffin” mommas that we all think are retarded.

Justia Opinion Summary


"Arrested on drug conspiracy charges, Hardy led DEA agents to his drugs and guns and provided information that Hardy purchased methamphetamine from Huskisson six times over the preceding five months, for $8,000 per pound, at Huskisson’s house and at his car lot. Huskisson had stated that Huskisson’s source expected a shipment of methamphetamine the next day. Hardy called Huskisson. Agents recorded that conversation. Huskisson agreed to deliver 10-12 pounds of methamphetamine. The next day, the two agreed during additional recorded calls that the deal was to occur at Huskisson’s home that night. Agent Cline followed Hardy to Huskisson’s house; watched Hardy enter, with an entry team on standby; and saw a car pull into the driveway. Two men exited the car with a cooler and entered the house. Minutes later, Hardy walked outside and gave a prearranged signal to indicate he had seen methamphetamine in the house. No search warrant had yet been issued.

The entry team entered the house and arrested Huskisson, who refused to consent to a search of his residence, and the other men. Officers saw in plain sight an open cooler with 10 saran-wrapped packages of a substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine. DEA agents then filed the warrant application, which stated: “The law enforcement officers observed an open cooler with ten saran wrapped packages that contained suspected methamphetamine. The suspected methamphetamine later field tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.” The warrant issued four hours after the initial entry. The Seventh Circuit upheld denial of a motion to suppress. The entry was unlawful. Ordinarily, the evidence would be excluded but because the government had so much other evidence of probable cause, and had already planned to apply for a warrant, the evidence is admissible. Though the government should not profit from its bad behavior, neither should it be placed in a worse position."

Here's the ruling:

Link

The court basically said "Yeah they entered illegally, and several hours later they wrote up a search warrant that included the fact that they found a lot of meth.  But since the judge probably would have approved that search warrant if they left out the part about already finding meth before they wrote it, it's admissible evidence.  Also, we realize the cop said during cross examination that they wouldn't have even applied for the warrant if they hadn't found the drugs, which would definitely make the evidence inadmissible, but he first told the prosecutor they would have applied for the warrant either way.  Since the lower court decided to ignore the conflicting testimony and go with his first statement, we'll go with that too.  It's our duty to not put cops in a bad position."

You either obey the law or don't.

When you don't you don't get to profit from breaking the law.

Judge is wrong and needs to be hung.

He's the absolute worst kind of government functionary, one that will fuck you so the government wins, even when it's wrong.

Did SCOTUS overturn its exclusionary rule holding while I was washing my hair?

The exclusionary rule acknowledges that the only way to get the government to behave and to obey the law is to put it in a worse position.

This holding reduces the 4A to "that's close enough for government work."

Look on the bright side.  At least none of these agents will be held criminally liable for their illegal actions either.
