Everyone does illegal stuff in the US. Sometimes it’s a technicality that a guilty party goes free.
- qingcharles 3y agoIt's true that technicalities in the USA can lead to very guilty defendants walking free from very serious crimes. These doctrines were created by judges who were sick of prosecutors and police violating the constitution and not getting punished for it. The solution is to fix the system to stop this misconduct and then we could rid ourselves of this doctrine. It's a fucked up system.
