If you * want illegally collected evidence to be introduced in court, you * should advocate the modification or repeal of the fourth * amendment; otherwise where would you be if policemen stopped * violating the fourth amendment? * Kenneth Almquist Again, Fourth Amendment states that a given act is wrong. It does NOT (repeat NOT) state the punishment for the crime. I have yet to find written in any law in the United States of America that violation of the Fourth Amendment by one side to a case gives freedom to the other side. If the evidence was illegally COLLECTED (not illegal of itself), PUNISH THE COLLECTOR! "Count on me to rehash it again until it's understood" Larry Bickford, {ihnp4,ucbvax,decvax}!decwrl!qubix!lab
