Frankly, this is pretty vague stuff. Searching or entering premises without a warrant is, of course, contrary to the 4A. Misstating the reason for probable cause in order to obtain a warrant is a felony offense in most jurisdictions, to say nothing of planting evidence. As for the rest of it - citizen B would only need a half way competent lawyer to set things right.

Again, no warrant in the Las Vegas case? Probable cause? Hookers need attorneys too, and again a decent lawyer would have a field day with this one.

I certainly am not naive enough to contend that all police officers behave legally all the time, indeed, recently the LA Times has run a spate of stories that would appear to document improper practices. But it is not hard to fight back and obtain proper legal recourse. That is why there is such abundant case law in this area.

Fortunately, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights still works for us, nearly all the time

This strikes home for me because I have been taking training in this area to work for a local park system. Your cases sound like no brainer violations of due process and all that. Did the p[people involved even try to obtain counsel? I would think an attorney would jump at the chance to get a case like this, even pro bono...

Susan, you have the right to remain silent. If you speak, anything you say can be used against you in an ETS forum
