To be clear: the story is that the sheriff of the state capital is openly violating state law.
State law that he personally voted for when he was in the state assembly.
Wouldn't this mean the evidence is gathered illegally, potentially doing more harm than good for the state prosecutors?
I don't think they'll care too much about process violations in those states.
Generally speaking, prosecutors care a lot about shit that'll tank their case.
But superior courts should. It will be a long and drawn out appeals process but there's no way a reasonable judge will look at the circumstances and side with prosecution.
Yeah, there's definitely a lack of those in the US. The Supreme Court has shown they don't care about standing any more, I'm sure process is the next thing they'll ignore to get a favourable outcome.
Sounds like a !@#$ty thing to do to people you don't know, not to mention an abuse of power.
You're allowed to swear on here as long as your mom doesn't know your username you know
That’s good to know, God rest her soul
And nobody will go to jail
Ahh, thanks. So it has nothing to do with abortion?
