And then explain how that "negligent" officer earned a passing grade in the relevant course?<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that if they learned it at the academy, and then ignore it in practice, it's no longer "negligent" but deliberate.<BR/><BR/>But it's dinner time, and I'm not used to thinking carefully about these things, so I may be missing something.Amerlochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001434250939119091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30074659199535170342009-01-17T18:36:00.000-06:002009-01-17T18:36:00.000-06:00Deferred Adjudacations are not convictions!

Some of these DAs are from when people were in their teens and lets face it, the 70's were a rough time to grow up in and drugs were rampant. Many successful people today used MJ and still are successful, so why does Texas continue to penalize people for these minor infractions that hurt no one? These calculous errors or laziness of the courts and DPS should not go unanswered!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-51973658689210310742009-01-16T21:39:00.000-06:002009-01-16T21:39:00.000-06:00The problem with the exclusionary rule is that, fo...The problem with the exclusionary rule is that, for some reason, the courts seem to think that it needs a justification. To deter police misconduct? NO! Because violations of the Fourth Amendment are violations of the highest law of the land. <BR/><BR/>That is the only justification necessary for suppressing ILLEGAL evidence. And suppression of illegal evidence is the only remedy for violations of the Fourth Amendment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-91182682256541937702009-01-16T16:25:00.000-06:002009-01-16T16:25:00.000-06:00Recalling a warrant is like recalling a fart.
