its not just that particular situation, though that did get me a bit miffed, its the fact that that situation probably happens everyday, and that we have just come to accept that as the way of things. its completely ridiculous. even though they had no right to search and anything they would have found supposedly wouldn't be admissable. lets say they found some pot, and my friend is poor and can't afford the lawyers O.J. got, what then. basically its the cop's word against his, and he will lose almost every time. even though they searched and found nothing, lets say my friend was on his way to work, and he got fired because he was an hour late due to the search, what kind of justice would that be for him?
