Oh well, if he did something bad then it is totally ok for the police to do illegal and unconstitutional things to catch him. Thank god we can trust the police to never ever abuse or misuse things like this. “It is better, so the Fourth Amendment teaches us, that the guilty sometimes go free than the citizens be subject to easy arrest.” - Former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
> if he did something bad "something bad" is doing a lot of work there, good job trying to downplay STONING someone
The constitution applies to everyone, even terrible people. I'd say the exact same thing if he was accused of murdering someone. This may surprise you, but the police often deal with people accused of crimes. It isn't downplaying crime to say that police shouldn't violate constitutional rights.
