The Road to Hell, indeed

The Fifth Circuit ruled that police officers don’t need warrants to conduct brief searches of homes and businesses. Two dissenting judges called it the road to hell.

What is wrong with these people?

Update: John has more.

    Defillo said he doesn’t envision any problems in New Orleans, but if there are, they will be handled. “There are checks and balances to make sure the criminal justce system works in an effective manor,” Defillo said.

    Yes, and they basically ignored one of those major checks and balances to get this ruling in the first place.

    I give that ruling 1 month before it gets overturned.

  3. Thibodeaux Says:

    New Orleans Police Department spokesman Capt. Marlon Defillo said the new power will go into effect immediately and won’t be abused.

    Hahahah! That Scott Ott is a riot! This is a Scrappleface story, right?

    This case could mean everything or nothing; it’s just not possible to tell from the news item. Warrantless searches have always been allowed under some circumstances, but the news story doesn’t tell us if the circumstances in this case were comparable.

    I’ve got a link up to the decision, and some extended excerpts from DeMoss’s dissent, along with my commentary, at my blog.

    I think DeMoss nailed it, again.

    Warrantless Terry Searches of Residential Areas

    The 5th Circuit has upheld the warrantless search of a suspect’s home. This has several bloggers up in arms, including Silent Majority

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
