If you have not omitted any facts, the search was illegal and all fruits of the search, had they been garnered, would be inadmissible. 'Course your friend has to be or know a good lawyer to know this, which is how most people get screwed. To those of you who don't know, the correct answer to a search question is always "No." No matter what. Who wants them wasting your time?

I think the situation that has got AzRael so upset is inherent in the model of person we want to be a police officer. We want them zealous, overbearing, commanding, etc. - hell, they're "silver souls" right? But, that same personality type and traits are quite similar to the element we expect policemen (and women) to combat. There is, truly, little difference between the law enforcers and the lawbreakers many times. Quite simply, this is IMHO why you run across a lot of "bully" cops. Goes with the job.
