Ok, 1) This basically gives the police the right to wiretap or search anyone without a warrant. 2) This is definitely not the right way for our police to operate even if it is constitutional. I mean, imagine if someone had been hurt. At the very minimum, our tax dollars are going to fix the car the police just damaged. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

1) Police have always had this right to search without a warrant.
2) Our tax dollars are going to put this guy in jail, not fix his car. I highly doubt anyone was in any danger. Police officers have more driving experience than anyone else I can think of short of truckers, but that's a different kind of driving. It's a clever way to accomplish what needed to be accomplished without jeopardizing the rest of the case. Never thought I'd see innovation come out of a police department, even if it's at the federal level

I mean, warrants ARE in the constitution. And even now, those searches are only under certain circumstances and with probable cause. For example, a cop can pull you over if you have a broken tail light and search you if he feels he has probable cause. This case is more of an example of a cop breaking the tail light and then pulling them over for the broken tail light. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

QUOTE (pebkac @ Jun 11 2007, 12:08 AM) No... they haven't. probably cause is enough to search without a warrant. like in lubbock, if i were to walk around my apartment complex in full bdsm gear then the lubbock police could search my apartment on probable cause that i have more than six of the same sexually oriented item. ooooooooor if i get pulled over for driving funny and my car smells of weed. -------------------- 32-bit whore
