#1 The supreme court needs to look at how easy it is to get a warrant these days because it seems the FBi is able to get a warrant to listen in on anybody at any time.

#2 I know, not their job. Still someone should look into it as warrants are just a speed bump for corrupt cops and i expect they'll be carrying around digital warrants that can be cleared by a judge with Docusign before long..

#3 Didn't even realize this was an issue. Why do cops hate warrants so much?

#4 quote from Majority Kagan authored

'The flight of a suspected misdemeanant does not always justify a warrantless entry into a home. An officer must consider all the circumstances in a pursuit case to determine whether there is a law enforcement emergency. On many occasions, the officer will have good reason to enter - to prevent imminent harms of violence, destruction of evidence, or escape from the home. But when the officer has time to get a warrant, he must do so - even though the misdemeanant fled.'

#6 What I'm wanting to know is, why do you have "hot pursuit" of a misdemeanor suspect when liberal DAs are refusing to prosecute violent felons?

#8 "misdemeanant"
Now there's a new word for my vocabulary.
(She's a SC justice, so, OK, I guess.)

#10 Misdemeanant not Felon.

Overcharging may become something of a problem.
