you mean its ok to get evidence by torture, theft, bribery,coersion,
and innuendo? Next we can take any confession or reporting under any
circumstances as fact...actually it woiuld be quicker and easier just
to kill anyone accused of a crime, just so as no one gets off on a
technicality.
People in postitions of power are no less corrupt, and sometimes a
great deal more than most "average" people. Its not that power
corrupts, per se, but that power attracts the corruptible.
Think carefully how u would like to have YOUR rights protected, before
throwing them away for another
