Unfortunate? It's a direct attack on the legal system. It's worse than the average person breaking the law. Because that's expected... that's why we have police. When the police (who should know better) break the law, they should be charged. After all, that's what happens to normal people. Instead, the people in the legal system too often get a pass. Because they're in the legal system. It's a kind of inverted thinki…
They have the power, thats what it is about.
Agreed. No one has the power to fire a police officer except other police officers or higher ups. The people of the democracy do not decide who is in power when it comes to law enforcement. I would like to see a checks and balances system or the ability to impeach anyone with any sort of legal power.

#24It's unfortunate that our law enforcement agents disregard the law. It's good that the judicial branch is enforcing our constitution, but saying the evidence is inadmissible is not good enough. The law enforcement agents should be held punitively accountable. Civil rights are violated, and law enforcement should be penalized for these violations.
Even more, it is not uncommon for law enforcement to actually enjoy legal protections from having to answer for any misbehavior or misconduct.

#25This is lawful and common in law enforcement agencies throughout the world. It's called "pretexting".
Look up the PDF for "Lying and Confessing" by Christopher Slobogin.

disregard the law...this goes well beyond a disregard of the law. This stinks of a corrupt government fixing the justice system. Disregard the law...is a gross understatement. Why do we tolerate a corrupt government like this. I want them to catch bad guys but not frame everyone so they catch bad guys.
This is a CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT. There can be no denying it. We are a banana republic.

Welcome from your slumber.

#28Most of this would not have happened if the ISP had acted responsibly and required court orders to comply with the FBI requests.
