US Supreme Court rules cops can use illegally seized evidence.

[mkdhotrod]

This is a very dangerous precedent because it is a direct workaround from the 4th amendment and noramlly illegally and inadmissible evidence.if the police officer misunderstands the law, the evidence still can be used, even if the probable cause for the stop for a search or seizure is unlawful. The final decision was 8 for and 1 against.

If this is in fact the case then welcome to the real police state. Innocent until proven guilt is now innocent until Officer Jackass can find something make you guilty.

This is the same as a typo on a warrant or report.
I don't see the issue, other laws are that all external lighting on a vehicle must function.

Unless this is in support of criminals walking on obscure technicalities, I think this is a non issue.

Did you read the whole article?This was an obscure part of the law that the legislation had not updated.Every state has, can't sell a car in the state without both or three lights working, I believe NC has inspections and all lights must be working. This is a mistake by the legislation. I think it would be reasonable for anyone reading this that the vast majority of officers anywhere would not be aware of this oversite.. Bet it's fixed soon by the legislation.
