IMHO,
The American legal system has become more about "spin" than "truth".
I mean, how else can you explain when the system knows, REALLY KNOWS that someone is guilty of a heinous crime, but the person walks because the criminal's "civil rights" were violated?
"But Lebell," I hear you say, "surely you don't want cops beating confessions out of suspects or any other of the things this could lead to?"
Of course not.
But I think there should be some other mechanism in place to prevent it rather than letting the guilty go free through suppression of GOOD evidence obtained ILLEGALLY.
For example, perhaps those involved should themselves be prosecuted and sent to jail if it can be shown that it was done purposefully. Or if there are extenuating circumstances (such as making an honest mistake), different levels of punishment could be metted out, such as suspension w/o pay, loss of job, etc.
