That's fine, and has absolutely nothing to do with this case. The police were just doing their job searching for a missing girl and had strong evidence that her phone was in the house. And people here are outraged. It's absurd. The point of the fourth amendment is to stop excessive or abusive searches, not all searches ever.
Second I think some of the police hate is just availability bias. If you read nothing but articles on the Internet about police somewhere doing something bad, of course you will think they are all terrible. Like people that watch the news and think air travel is more dangerous than driving.

And it's not just the US where police commonly fabricates evidence, in particular when it comes to drug or gun "offenses".
- Houshalter 11y ago>"Stop and frisk" and "asset forfeiture" means anything to you? And I agree that those are unconstitutional. But again it has nothing to do with this case.

No, we think they're all terrible when we hear about one officer doing something bad, and an entire precinct closing ranks around him/her to cover it up. (Which accompanies the vast majority of instances of police misconduct.)
