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

that's ridiculous, it was 100% overkill.
QUOTE Second, they wanted to protect the anonymity of the ongoing investigation -- another vital objective. this is retarded. they could have just had a normal cruiser pull them over for something dumb and then searched. |

If you had a car load of drugs and knew you weren't speeding, your tail lights were working, seatbelt was on, and whatever else, would you stop or would you speed up and make them chase you and hope to get away...yeah.

Never thought I'd see innovation come out of a police department, even if it's at the federal level No, cops being able to search a car without a warrant is a fairly new thing. 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!

That's interesting you should mention that because it seems like the car was pinned after the one behind it rear ended them. So how'd the cop manage to "steal" it. Their plan obviously planned on pinning them to keep them from running off like you mentioned.

It court is has been upheld that a warrent is not needed if impending information is known by authorities. This is like the retroactive warrents on the federal level, but involves a criminal case and not just the warrent.
