Depends where you are. US law doesn't apply everywhere.
Also, I'd guess that even in the USA, evidence produced by a burglar can be challenged on the grounds that it isn't what it purports to be. I suspect that US chain-of-custody rules etc. are meant for broader purposes than just controlling police corruption. The police are not the only people who can manipulate evidence.
- Thiez 2y agoI'm not in or from the US either. It's a common rule though. The word of a burglar alone hopefully isn't enough for a conviction anywhere, but it should be sufficient for a warrant in sane jurisdictions.
