Yeah, like the California cops that were taking drugs from the evidence room and selling them and got caught. They just got sentenced. Community service…no jail time.

...one clear lesson in all of this, for anyone who hasn't already figured this out is, don't throw ANY evidence in your trash, once you put it out on the street they no longer need a search warrant.

I'm not being smart, I'm genuinely asking...where do you put it then?

If you don't toss it, it's still in your possession. And you will have plants piling up?

And amen to this judge who has a brain...

“Law-abiding tea drinkers and gardeners beware,” writes Judge Carlos Lucero in his opinion [PDF]. “One visit to a garden store and some loose tea leaves in your trash may subject you to an early-morning, SWAT-style raid, complete with battering ram, bulletproof vests, and assault rifles.”

And I love the judge who said what he sees amounts to "lazy police work" but doesn't rise to the level of canceling their immunity...

So clearly violating two constitutional rights, of an entire family, plus the embarrassment, social/financial costs etc, based on evidence that they didn't have, because it doesn't exist...is just "lazy?" When asked, they couldn't provide the supposed field sample, not even the pictures they are supposed to have of it?

If I didn't check that story (I did, it's true) I would think it was a hoax. How could they get it that wrong? It's almost as bad as the time they blew that kid's face off with a stun grenade, looking for someone who wasn't even in the house.
