Supreme Court laughs at law enforcement

[Forever_frost]

What SCOTUS rulings have the police ignored ? seems like a legit question...

They routinely violate the 1st, 4th, 5th amendments. Oh, I know.

1st amendment: http://dailycaller.com/2013/09/19/ca...stitution-day/

No knock Warrants, Hudson v Michigan:

In determining that the evidence was admissible under the 4th Amendment, the Court outlined the reasons behind the requirement of knocking and announcing:

“One of those interests is the protection of human life and limb, because an unannounced entry may provoke violence in supposed self-defense by the surprised resident… Another interest is the protection of property. Breaking a house (as the old cases typically put it) absent an announcement would penalize someone who ‘did not know of the process, of which, if he had notice, it is to be presumed that he would obey it’…The knock-and-announce rule gives individuals ‘the opportunity to comply with the law and to avoid the destruction of property occasioned by a forcible entry.’ And thirdly, the knock-and-announce rule protects those elements of privacy and dignity that can be destroyed by a sudden entrance. It gives residents the ‘opportunity to prepare themselves for’ the entry of the police… ‘

I had this argument when I was a cop. They were encouraging officers to go through texts, pics, etc. incident to arrest. I told them it was bullshit and was going to end up getting the pd into a lawsuit.

If they want to go through mine, I would tell them to just ignore the pics of their mammas and daughters sucking my dong.
