Well what he did was still stupid but those that worry about the rights of drug dealers are not very smart either.

No, what he did was illegal.

First, they came for the drug dealers, but I said nothing because I didn’t use drugs.

The police are to enforce the law and respect and obey the law. They should be held to a higher standard and, when they break the law they should be punished more severely.

I don’t know the particulars of this case, but there are many instances of polices planting evidence, so until the person is convicted he is only accused of a crime and still has his rights.

Yeah, people who worry about other people's rights aren't very smart. What this country needs are kangaroo courts, secret witnesses, planted evidence and paramilitary death squads. Maybe then we can rid this nation of the marijuana menace. It's worked so well for Columbia.

I think you're very wrong about this. Drug dealers don't lose their rights until they have been convicted and sentenced. The Bill of Rights isn't worth anything if you are willing to allow the police to decide when it applies and when it doesn't.

If you have been paying attention to cases like Nifong's persecution of the Duke students, you would know that innocent people are charged with crimes all the time. They may be in the minority, but the only way to preserve justice is to expect that people's rights are respected even when they are charged with a crime.

If you wish to see people punished, wait until sentencing time.

What does 'worrying about the rights of drug dealers' have to do with a desire to see dangerous criminals punished? Crooks like this are among the most dangerous criminals in existence, since they serve to replace constitutional government with totalitarian anarchy.

Did anybody read this article?

Junnier had obtained the warrant for one apartment in the 2005 incident, prosecutors said. The team found some marijuana behind the apartment but not inside, they said. Stallings and Junnier then decided to search an adjoining apartment but no one was home and they found nothing inside.

This is not a drug dealer we are talking about it these scumbags broke into someones apartment  not because they were suspicious of the residents but because they thought they were above the law
