“The decision was a reversal of the Utah Supreme Court’s decision tossing out the evidence under the Fourth Amendment’s so-called “exclusionary rule,” which holds that evidence obtained illegally cannot be admitted at trial.”
Uh, no, this does NOT reverse that decision. It was the court’s opinion that the “exclusionary rule” was not applicable because of the facts IN THIS CASE.
Writers should stick to writing about things they understand and/or have no prejudice against.
The “exclusionary rule” in many cases, disallows evidence that was simply not presented properly or logged in and/or described wrong. Crazy reasons, many of them, which is how we get guys running around with 43 arrests, 4 felony convictions and who knows how many other acts of thuggery that were unable to be prosecuted because someone didn’t dot an I or cross a t.
Thank you both for reviewing and providing valuable points for consideration.
Can not help to be increasing suspicious of gov’t ruling as we become evermore unconstitutionally governed.
