In yet another huge blow to our Constitution, the Supreme Court ruled in Jan 2015 that a police officer can violate your 4th Amendment rights if they make a ‘reasonable’ mistake regarding the law.
If you are ignorant of the law, that is no excuse, but if a cop is ignorant of the law, he can violate your rights.
As incredible as it sounds, any cop can ‘play dumb’ and proceed to do anything he wants to you and feel secure that his excuse of ignorance will shield him.
How in the hell can a cop be expected to uphold the law if he doesn’t even know the law?
SEE PAGE 2 TO CONTINUE:
How can they be a cop in the first place if they don’t know the law? Part of their job description is to uphold the law, how do you do that if you don’t know it?! Shouldn’t we hold our cops to a higher standard than the people they’re supposed to be protecting?!?
True case . I followed this when it came out . And saved it . Horrid decision .
BS that want work with Armed Patriots.
I guess that means if they don’t know they need a warrant to enter my home and they barge in, they can except what they get when they get in….RIGHT!
Each state needs to make a change that police must have a warrant in hand before entering your property, not the one they haven’t got that is suposedly at the police station or da’s office.
Idiocracy. This is what happens when humans become slaves to their country
Maybe they should examine all the laws before they gang bust anyone’s house or space
WTH???
LOL Then they’re about to get a VERY RUDE Lesson about our Laws!!!!
“We the people” can teach them if they’re that ignorant…….nuf said
