Illegal Police Entry Doesn't Bar Evidence, Court Says

June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Prosecutors can use evidence seized by police during a home search even though officers violated the Constitution by failing to knock or announce their presence before entering, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled.

The justices, voting 5-4 in a Michigan case, today put new limits on the so-called exclusionary rule, which in some circumstances bars prosecutors from using the product of an illegal search. The majority said the exclusionary rule doesn't apply to violations of the ``knock and announce'' requirement for home searches.

``Resort to the massive remedy of suppressing evidence of guilt is unjustified,'' Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the court. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito joined Scalia's majority opinion.

Justices John Paul Stevens, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter dissented.

``The court destroys the strongest legal incentive to comply with the Constitution's knock-and-announce requirement,'' Breyer wrote for the four dissenters.

The dispute may have been one in which Alito's vote decided the outcome. The court heard arguments in the case twice, the first time in January with now-retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the bench. During that session, O'Connor said she was concerned about the ``sanctity of the home.''

Second Session

Three weeks later the Senate confirmed Alito to replace O'Connor. The court later scheduled a second argument session so that Alito could take part.

Alito's decision to join the majority left Kennedy at the center of the court -- a position that might become familiar territory for him with the court's current composition. Kennedy wrote separately to say the ruling ``should not be interpreted as suggesting that violations of the requirement are trivial or beyond the law's concern.''

Kennedy also said the ``continued operation of the exclusionary rule'' is ``not in doubt.''

The ruling centered on a 1998 search at the Detroit home of Booker T. Hudson Jr. by police officers executing a search warrant for narcotics.

The officers didn't knock when they arrived at the house, instead shouting, ``Police, search warrant!'' and waiting three to five seconds before opening the door. Officers found cocaine and a gun in the house and arrested Hudson. The Michigan Supreme Court later upheld Hudson's conviction on drug charges.

Locked Doors

The Supreme Court previously said that, under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, police seeking to enter a home generally must knock, announce their presence and wait for a period of time -- perhaps as long as 15 to 20 seconds. The rule is designed to give residents a chance to open locked doors and, if necessary, put clothes on.

The court has made exceptions to the knock-and-announce rule when police have reason to think a person inside may be dangerous or be trying to destroy evidence.

In the Michigan case, prosecutors opted not to argue that the entry into Hudson's home was constitutional, instead contending that the exclusionary rule shouldn't apply to knock- and-announce violations. The state argued that those types of police errors don't enable officers to seize additional evidence.

Breyer, in his dissent, criticized the state for not arguing that the entry was justified. Breyer said the search warrant referred to the possibility of weapons in the house, suggesting that officers, to ensure their safety, needed to surprise Hudson.

``Why did the prosecutor not argue in this very case that, given the likelihood of guns, a no-knock entry was lawful?'' Breyer wrote. ``From what I have seen in the record, he would have won. And had he won, there would have been no suppression here. That is the right way to win.''

Hudson argued that the exclusionary rule is necessary to deter police officers from ignoring the knock-and-announce requirement.

The case is Hudson v. Michigan, 04-1360.

Amazing Quote
A quote from David Rockefeller's autobiography 'Memoirs' -
6-11-6

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the
political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to
attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim
we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even
believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best
interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me
as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world
to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -
one world, if you will.

If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

High Court backs police no-knock searches

By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer 20 minutes ago

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that police armed with a warrant can
barge into homes and seize evidence even if they don't knock, a huge
government victory that was decided by President Bush's new justices.

The 5-4 ruling signals the court's conservative shift following the
departure of moderate Sandra Day O'Connor.

Dissenting justices predicted that police will now feel free to
ignore previous court rulings that officers with search warrants must
knock and announce themselves or run afoul of the Constitution's
Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches.

Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, said Detroit police
acknowledge violating that rule when they called out their presence
at a man's door, failed to knock, then went inside three seconds to
five seconds later. The court has endorsed longer waits, of 15
seconds to 20 seconds.

"Whether that preliminary misstep had occurred or not, the police
would have executed the warrant they had obtained, and would have
discovered the gun and drugs inside the house," Scalia wrote.

Suppressing evidence is too high of a penalty, Scalia said, for
errors by police in failing to properly announce themselves.

The outcome might have been different if O'Connor were still on the
bench. She seemed ready, when the case was first argued in January,
to rule in favor of Booker Hudson, whose house was searched in 1998.

O'Connor had worried aloud that officers around the country might
start bursting into homes to execute search warrants. She asked: "Is
there no policy of protecting the home owner a little bit and the
sanctity of the home from this immediate entry?"

She retired before the case was decided, and a new argument was held
so that Justice Samuel Alito could participate in deliberations.
Alito and Bush's other Supreme Court pick, Chief Justice John
Roberts, supported Scalia's opinion.

Hudson's lawyers argued that evidence against him was connected to
the improper search and could not be used at his trial. He was
convicted of drug possession.

Scalia said that a victory for Hudson would have given "a
get-out-of-jail-free card" to him and others.

In a dissent, four justices complained that the decision erases more
than 90 years of Supreme Court precedent.

"It weakens, perhaps destroys, much of the practical value of the
Constitution's knock-and-announce protection," Justice Stephen Breyer
wrote for himself and the three other liberal members.

Breyer said that police can now enter homes without knocking and
waiting a short time if they know that there is no punishment for it.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, a moderate, joined the conservatives in
most of the ruling. He wrote his own opinion, however, to say "it
bears repeating that it is a serious matter if law enforcement
officers violate the sanctity of the home by ignoring the requisites
of lawful entry."

Kennedy said that legislatures can intervene if police officers do
not "act competently and lawfully." He also said that people whose
homes are wrongly searched can file a civil rights lawsuit.

And Scalia wrote that there are public-interest law firms and
attorneys who specialize in civil rights grievances.

In response, Breyer said there is no evidence of anyone collecting
much money in such cases.

The case is Hudson v. Michigan, 04-1360.

(Now that they have effectivley did away with our right to illegal search and seizure.The next step in their plan for total donimation of mankind will now come July 4th of 2006 at the United Nations.Where they will be voting on weather we have the right to bear arms in this county called America.Our first ammendment right to bear arms in this country is the last step they need to take over with complete control.
Once they have that we no longer have a such thing called Liberty in this country.And thus we will be yet another dictatorship in the New World Order of things.Think about that folks.You need to get every person you know that owns a firearm to raise bloody hell over this vote going on at the U.N. quickly.Liberty is really hanging on by a thin thread.The significance of the U.N. vote on the day of our country's independance should not be lost in your thoughts.It is planned that way for a reason.Also folks it would not hurt to get right with God Almighty now.The time is running so short that you will be consumed without him and Jesus as your Saviour.It's time to wake up Americans.You are living on borrowed time or life support from this point forward).

Statement to the Women
Author, Debbie
from the MIND CONTROL USA Show,
with John & Debbie.

I am here to speak for women across the nation being experimented on, without their knowledge or consent. I am a human rights activist trying to stop the torture and the despicable evil that is being done to us.

I have talked to many women around the world and have heard their stories of injustice where they are being attacked with electronic weapons such as implants and directed energy and also stalking. Their stories are very much the same. We are being tortured relentlessly and many women are suffering from this due to the neglect and ignorance of public officials. The letters and appeals we have written to them are put aside and thrown away as if our pleas for help go un-noticed. Why is it that our crys to the public officials mean nothing? Our bodies, minds and souls are being raped and destroyed because a nazi society has been allowed to exist. These are the days of a government where a fourth reich is imminent, and we are being attacked by a silent weapon that kills, maimes and tortures. These nazi animals have the mentality of a rapist, where no conscience is present and they are trained as atheists who see themselves as God. They are taught to enjoy the pain of others. Preying on weak innocent people is their forte; we must have no fear to make our plight known; or they will feed off of our screams.

If we remain silent about this horrendous crime, you too may eventually be attacked and brought to a death camp (your home is the new modern death camp) to die. Our fathers, husbands, boyfriends, brothers, uncles, and children are tortured and being killed in the same way. We must stand up and speak out for our lives and for our families or we will lose this war against humanity. We must fight back and take back our country and the right to a government with a conscience, which has been lost.

It took years of research but here is the big picture.
Below you will find supporting documents and information which went into this summation!
It all begins before the point at which I bring you up to date in part because there is so much information that it would be a burden to consider here, suffice it to say we have a great change in the world about to happen without a large number of people in the United States waking up and taking charge of a runaway secret illegitimate government.
First and foremost point to make it clear this has already happened, the mass media give no time on air about the removal of the constitutional rights of the people; in fact the people don't really understand that its happened. The removal of the constitutional rights to a level of Nazi Germany where people could disappear is true, they wrote illegal laws without representation by the people to do so.

Quantifying the situation it goes like this. The intelligence community embarked independently upon the technical capability of implanting individuals both their own and other countries citizens and agents with and without their knowledge for spying and killing them covertly.

The individual countries allies and adversaries and their respective intelligence organizations and companies manufacturing implants and directed energy devices eventually became aware of each others use in the 1950's. The use was kept secret even though crimes against citizens by their own countries could have been used as propaganda was kept from release because of the benefits against countries and people not in the know. The corporations manufacturing them overlapped sales to allies and adversaries and this fomented a meeting of intelligence agencies from adversarial sides buying from the same sources. The intelligence agencies had international meetings to discuss the future; being the devices that brought them together were going to get them into a potential problem in their respective home countries because of their widespread use it was decided that because they took all the risks and committed all the crimes, they would rule instead of the legislative bodies of their countries. The decision was made to adopt an across the board pecking order for all world countries to follow. The circumstances of the final arrangement was an adoption of a little known plan to eliminate the rights from peoples who could under law stop them from their plans if discovered; the populations of only a few european countries and the United States were the only obstacles to its success. The european populations have few rights to be of serious threat and it was the americans that posed the threat, after all the US is a superpower; and according to the people who live there " they are the government, and no one would dare try to remove their rights". So a plan was devised and would take place as a multi pronged thrust to disintegrate the peoples power and threat to the plan. The following several methods were taken using mind control implants and directed energy to accomplish it, the first wave of use of implant and directed energy was on political and military targets in the United States and the United Kingdom where key personnel were profiled and efforts were made to indoctrinate them in the kinds of activities which could be used to blackmail them to do as they were told, failing that they would be implanted or have directed energy beamed at them to incapacitate by causing career stopping syndromes or disease or kill them. This surreptitious procurement by force was successful and implemented. Once in the drivers seat they could control an unwitting apparatus of the military and political arms to implement legislation removing the rights of the people and have done so. Second was a method to turn public opinion against gun ownership because an armed population once it becomes aware of a massive termination program cutting demographically across all ages, ethnic, financial, and political groups will shoot the aggressor; unless its done secretly as it is, but mistakes are being made and the truth is leaking despite a clear vise grip on the media. The plan active even at this time is to disarm the people through using that technology to make school children and others go insane and mind control them to shoot and kill people, in order to have a public campaign to remove all guns, this being done so there is little resistance regardless of whether the plan needs to be altered according to the circumstances at the moment. The multi pronged plan has several emergency detours which are coming up, as was mentioned the main goal is depopulation without the population knowing, spraying the population with chemicals reducing their immunity to disease is currently being done as well in the hopes that the virulence of biological agents will be greater.

First step is to secure lines of communication and cut them which has been done effectively by having a media that only says what its told. Second secure the military and political arms by incapacitating or killing them which has been done.

The glitch is having the termination squads discovered too early on in the game plan which has spawned some violence, not yet enough for a change in plan quite yet. Now with war happening there is a probability since the plan to takeover is years old it seems fair to recognize that the war is part of the plan. It will be made to look like it was the fault of another country where all the countries will have this as a story to tel their people when the dust settles. Priority is that the termination squads being discovered and the ugly leadership engaging in it risking removal to the nearest gas chamber, this leadership has fewer options and it must now stop a huge population from removing (killing) them and do so quickly before the information in fact can spread too far for the truth to be hidden after the dust clears.
Note : even if war broke out tomorrow and we had a nuclear war, after it all came to an end Americans would never tolerate tyranny, but the next steps are going to be taken by the few thousand who engineered this situation to save their lives. If word of the electronic termination spreads to quickly they will likely destroy the evidence and people who can link them to it, failing that they will initiate a limited nuclear war in the hope of causing enough chaos to prevent the US military (good guys kept in the dark) from finding out about it, the war and its blanket news will be used to further shutdown communications and the Internet will cease; the limited war has as part of it a plan that US cities are to be hit with weapons of mass destruction of such a level as to have FEMA take over the government and order cities to evacuate to camps already established for 30 million and tent cities for many many more, with a common food supply; Jimmi Jones can offer them poisons that will take 4 days to act virtually insuring ingestion of whatever is offered as food if they so desire. The American people are the enemy as they think they have rights in a world where other countries people have very little in the way of rights and crimes by the leadership are routinely ignored. Therefore the US military if apprised correctly of the plan would root such black hearts from their midst. The fact at present is that there are 2 million foreign troops in the United States and not anywhere near that number of US troops in the US, its true and verified. All our troops have been sent overseas conveniently by those that are traitors implementing the plan; why would these leaders hurt their own country, because they have committed crimes punishable by death and know they are rapidly being exposed, and liable for the death penalty; like bank robbers on the run after murdering people in the bank they are desperate and will stop at nothing not to get caught. The ultimate problem faces this country and the world. The depopulation plan spoken of here is openly spoken of by the elite ruling gestapo of the CFR Bildenburgs, and what is known as the illumaniti, is openly acknowledged as a way to save the earth from overpopulation stripping it of its very ability to support the population at present standards; this supposition has been pumped out by the subversives funded think tanks for decades and lapped up by science illiterates of the ruling class for as long; truth is that technology can allow for a higher population than triple of what it is now, the truth is that the ugly leadership wants a subservient population without rights that at low numbers is easily managed. This is the truth, and unless you dedicate at least 1 day a week to telling everyone they are terminating people in the their own homes we will have a large loss of life on the planet without really having to let it happen. The termination of men women and children in their homes in this country is occurring with more finesse than the Nazi's had where they had to round them up and take them by rail road to a concentration camp. The medical community is owned in large part by benefactors of this plan, where those that are terminated have their insurance and savings churned into the deadly system. From all the facts the ultimate goal appears to be depopulation and fragmentation of the United States (reduction of the population to have no rights as a preparatory phase so that no counteraction to what's about to happen could take place )For more info click here ( X )
The virtual trillions from europe and russia pillaged by the Nazi's was dumped in pharmaceutical companies in the United States and is verified by news accounts as to the paper trail of investment from the Nazi intelligence agency, the only agency to survive the Nazi regime.

This was a last minute long throw over the goal posts to win the war which never ended, but went underground. The german think tanks at the end of the war churning out studies as the allies and russians advanced towards Berlin, trying to come up with a scenario as to how to win the war even after loosing, where it was stated that everyone has an ultimate vulnerability; and it was understood much as this investigation is deduction that a means to win was slow but simple, which was to operate within the medical community, wherein any and that means anybody that was an objective necessary to remove as an obstacle had to merely to be seen by a doctor where all things necessary to manipulate or destroy could be done to them. The heavy investment in pharmaceutical companies would aid in the cooperation with US military profiled or groomed for the purpose of a smooth operation where legitimate doctors could be approached under the guise of national security by military or law enforcement to gain their cooperation to carry out implantation, drugging, poisoning. or planned to fail operations. An essential element considered a high priority for domination after the removal of key personnel was carried out was positions throughout all civil and military agencies were the jobs of "profilers". At the top of the priority takeover list were policy makers in all areas domestic and international; the formulation of policy to allow the operation to take place without causing suspicion was and is being done where policy plans are designed with a goal for takeover not understood as such by the immediate underlings that review it due to its being formulated to generate safety of the target country while at the same time gain more and more power for those that formulated policy and the parasitic internal coup regime.

The indoctrination, recruitment and infiltration of the US government was planned as the germans retreated from russia and europe. In the US prior to the war Nazi parades 10,000 strong were held on Long Island in New York State, this support went underground and there were many infiltraitors in the military who helped them get a toe hold in "Human Experimentation Agency Activities", where once formed joined with the pharmaceutical companies to form an internal axis of power inside the US that has over the decades used drugs, and electronic methods to remove those that stood in the way of their agenda. The pecking order of authority has its roots in these facts as stated, as to it being a hybrid today where elements of all superpowers being involved as stated follows below this paragraph, one thing is certain and that is the people of the United States whom think they are still free are to be divided and destroyed.

Consider that US generals looking out their pentagon windows overlooking the Human Experiment Agency and other agencies thinks to himself " we can beat any country any time ", those in the Human Experiment Agency looking out the window seeing the pentagon say to themselves " we can kill those generals anytime we want ".

On a last note can a head of state be a double agent, from recent history this has been proven to be true; one must think about what such a figurehead may have been promised for them to engage in the ultimate treason; could such a promise me a NWO super state, which being promised and planned for, is actually planned by those promising cooperation to fragment and destroy that which held the original state together.
