TN Judge Gets One Right
From WBIR:
A judge dismissed charges against three people accused in the largest crack cocaine seizure in Hawkins County because an official arrived with the search warrant after investigators had entered a defendants’ house.
Sessions Court Judge David Brand ruled evidence in the search was illegal because of the delay.
The defendants — all from Michigan — were released from the Hawkins County Jail.
I’d like to see a counter suit against the police now. Sure, these drug dealers aren’t model citizens but the authorities should know (and act) better.

I totally agree. Before I started working with them, I was a huge proponent of law enforcement. Sadly, their attitudes these days are more about punishing the allegedly guilty rather than protecting the innocent. Hopefully the druggies will be apprehended on a legitimate bust.
