My lawyer keeps telling me I shouldn't bother because you're "judgment-proof." What does that mean?

Exclusionary Rule
 

Like many Americans you seem to forget there are other countries in the world. Other western nations seem to run fine without the exclusionary rule. Obviously the financial penalties do some good because there is no massive hue and cry against police abuse in Britain.

Exclusionary Rule
 

So does that mean that every time the police conduct an illegal search, I can sue them for depriving me of the right to feel safe and secure in my home and person?

I don't get the bid deal.
 

Byrd is your leader, not mine. You should look at the damage he does. I am not racist, I am against people who are against Freedom and infringe upon or incite or support others to infringe upon the freedoms of the peoples of the USA. That is across the board, regardless of race.

I am against ideologies that seek to destroy our way of life and our country, regardless of the race of the proponent.

Adam Gahan or whatever the American dude who threatened LA the other day is seemingly the same race as me. I put him in the same subhuman filth category as the ululating whore and the other palestinians who cheered 911.

Why do you support them?

Exclusionary Rule
 

That's why the exclusionary rule doesn;t result in the criminal going free. It results in the government being prohibited from using illegally obtained evidence.

Criminals can still be convicted without tainted evidence. It just makes the gov's job harder. By arguing that the rule automatically sets a criminal free, you are misstating the rule and the result.

One is parody, one is serious. One is promulgated by poster on an internetr chat board, of no consequence to anything. The other is promulgated by the fourth estate for the purposes of news reporting.

I know you can see the difference here, I pray that you are a big enough person to acknowledge it publicly.

Exclusionary Rule
 

You are confusing the two issues. There is one issue of whether or not you did the crime. If you did the crime and you are sitting in jail what is the problem.

There other issue is the illegal search. You may have been damaged but the remedy should be declaring you innocent for a crime you actually did commit.

Like most members of our screwed up judicial system, the truth does not seem to matter to you.

Its clear he has never actually read the case. I'm not even sure his LS made people read the actual decisions. I think most of the third tier schools work from a commercial outline right from the start.

Stay in Skool !!!
 

Those narcotics forfeiture laws are a bitch.

Exclusionary Rule
 

The exclusionary rule has nothing to do with guilt or innocence or guilty men going to jail. It is about excluding probative evidence. The less probative evidence there is the less likely the court is to issue the correct verdict.

Look, if you want to so closely associate yourself with the Justice Kennedys of the world, that's certainly your prerogative, but we are entering the Age of the Tabla Rasa, my man. You'd better go stand over there with the sissified liberals and communists.

I don't get the bid deal.
 

The photo is ridiculous to anyone of even moderate intelligence. In that regard it is on exactly the same level as your favorite graphic arts genre.

The only reaction to the Pottygate(tm) photo I have witnessed from my friends on the left is laughter and ridicule. The only outrage over the photo I have witnessed is from those on the right who want to characterize it as a witch hunt.

I hope whatever jackass of an editor decided to run it as a news item is out of a job today, or at least writing obits for the pet-lovers section of the Sunday inserts. But to treat it as a vicious stab by the VLWC is a bit of a reach, n'est'ce-pas?

Exclusionary Rule
 

???? If a murderer or rapist or other felon gets to roam free when they are actually guilty because probative evidence is disallowed you don't think that punished the victim? What do the cops really care. The victim has much more of a stake in the perpetrator being punished than the cops do.

Exclusionary Rule
 

That may be the dumbest post I have ever read. I can't think of dumber one. If you don't think guilty people have walked where they would have been convicted if certain probative evidence wasn't disallowed, you are either insane, in denial, dishonest or incredibly dumb.

Exclusionary Rule
 

You are actually the one confusing the issue here. As I noted above, the rule requires that illegally obtained evidence be excluded from a trial. If the police do their job adequately, the criiminal, if indeed he is guilty, should be convicted on the basis of other, legally obtained evidence. The remedy is not an award to the defendant. The remedy is an assurance to the People that their right to be secure in their homes and property is being protected. Any effect on the defendant is purely collateral.

And that's the truth that matters.
