ILLEGAL SEARCH

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2010/12/07/sk-drug-case-evidence-motor-home-101207.html

If you have committed a crime, shouldn't you have to do the time even if the means used to find the drugs are not the conventional way?

The reality is that just about every 'out of province' vehicle that police see in Saskatchewan should be checked.  If it's revealed to be a rental, it should be checked further.  Bleeding hearts won't allow something this simple to take place because they will say you can't just search someone because he/she is from out of province, so they have to come up with other 'legal' ways to do it.  I'm assuming police noticed this type of vehicle (not unusual type to be trafficking drugs), also noticed it was from out of province, and also may have noticed the driver didn't look like Ward Cleaver.  So they made up the story about swerving, acting nervous, etc. to try and get a legal search done.  When will we stop protecting criminals in this country?

My other thought is that publishing this information in open court and allowing defense lawyers to ask certain questions, it allows drug traffickers to study police habits and methods when it comes to unearthing these kinds of drug seizures.

Finally, if a police officer ever wants to violate my rights and search my vehicle I will not object and will not file a complaint simply because they won't find anything.  It may be annoying and slow me down, but big deal.
