your example does not quite work for this situation moondog Send a noteboard - 18/05/2011 01:49:02 AM
Just like if my baggie* of weed** falls out of my pocket and the police notice, they don't need a warrant to pick it up and prosecute me :P

Weed in my pocket = warrant needed

Weed out of my pocket = no warrant needed


*not really mine. my friend's maybe.

**do the kids still call it weed?


if the police followed you around *waiting* for weed to fall out of your pocket, you would be speaking the same language. if they decide they think you're seeing a dealer and get a warrant to follow you around waiting for weed to fall out of your pocket, that's perfectly fine as well. following you around without any prior suspicion, without your consent, waiting for you to break a law? that *used* to require a judge's oversight, now they can just do it without worrying if you're actually a person of interest or not.
