What does that even mean? This should be the biggest red flag.
Our justice system is such a joke.
EDIT TO ADD:
That such a bullshit statement like the police officer made as justifiable reason to go through with violating his constitutional rights, and that now the victim needs to go through a lengthy (expensive) legal process for justice is my reasoning for saying our justice system is a joke.
Meanwhile there is another HN thread about package thieves and the amount of comments about how the police are TOO busy to solve those crimes.
Maybe stop with the dubious drug searches (Cocaine residue, really?) and take care of the real criminals.
- berbec 8y agoThis sounds like "parallel construction": "cops devise a second, more conventional way to obtain the information, and put that reverse-engineered method down on paper. The result is that law enforcement lies about the origins of its investigative method" [1] They didn't like him, he had a record, they want to make an example of him. 1: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/and-after-what-we-learned-about-hemisphere-program-after-suing-dea https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/and-after-what-we-lear...
- masonic 8y agoEvery defense attorney in the state should make a point of memorizing the names of the officers involved in this arrest, using this case to impugn their judgment in every other trial in which they are called as witnesses.
