Exclusionary Rule
 

You sound so haughty when you speak Gaelic

Exclusionary Rule
 

They are civil servants with secure positions. If they fail in their jobs we pay more than they do. We throw out a very important element to our system (determining the truth to get the right verditct) to inadequately protect another element to our legal system (protecting peoples rights).

As I recall, we fought a war not to live under English rules.

Benedict Arnoldist fuck.

Why did Nagin exclude the use of the buses from his evacuation plan? That exclusionary rule resulted in many thousands of deaths.

Why not punish the same way we punish individuals.

If you break into my house and find probative evidence I have recourse against you.

If the cops break into my house and find probtive evidence why shouldn't I have the same recourse against you.

Why should the only time I have recourse is when I am holding probative evidence that could be used to convict me of a crime.

He knew the federal plan said there would be planes. Where were the planes?

Exclusionary Rule
 

Individuals hold far less power than the state. Why hold prosecutors to a brd standard? Surely, that allows a guilty person to go free every once in a while. Why not get rid of it.

You can kiss my frosted lucky charms, boyo.

I don't get the bid deal.
 

Congratulations, Penske, but this is a very long-winded way to announce that you're switching your registration.

I don't know, ask Nagin, although I think they were right there in NO within his control per the state of Lousiana first responder plan:

Yes. I was independent and I am officially becoming a Republican.

Absurdity
 

You don't think that the exclusionary rule has encouraged the devlopment of various procedural safeguards, practices and training methods in police departments to avoid the exclusion of relevant evidence? It has.

By so doing, it seems to me that the rule has surely reduced, and continues to reduce, the number of "illegal" searches and seizures which might otherwise occur if there was no such rule.

Every police department in the country (I think) provides some training in the current state of 4th and 5th Amendment law as it applies to the way cops have to do their jobs. Some procedures may be designed to try to circumvent the rules -- but the police are conscious of it and try to comply.

As a former prosecutor, I have to say, Spanky, that your purely theoretical argument seems to be pretty far divorced from reality. I've kept quiet so far, but you're making no darn sense.

[ETA: Sorry to break it to you that the issue that drove you to the Federalist Society is total bull. Don't worry, though, there is still time to change your ways.]

Leave Arnold alone. He was a true war hero. Had he and Gates not succeeded at Saratoga, the Fight for Independence would have met an early demise.

That he conspired with the enemy later on shouldn't tarnish his image.

Just ask John Kerry.

Touched a nerve, apparently.

Thanks for calling my post moronic. Coming from you, that must have given everyone on this board a laugh.

I don't get the bid deal.
 

I'm not sure how i feel about that, to be honest. Calling a fat guy fat is wrong, except coming from another fat guy.
