Last week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Case of Caniglia v Strom. What makes this case remarkable is the current Administration filed an "Amicus" (friend of the Court) brief which argues that the position of the US Government is that a search warrant should not be "presumptively required" IF the government agents actions (the search and seizure) are considered to be "grounded in "the public interest."
Once upon a time, the Supreme Court decided that search warrants were only needed for Federal agents, not the State ones. So how did we get a whole bunch of Federal convictions during that time frame?
Well... when the evidence presented was received on a silver platter, it was considered admissible.
And if the 1st Circuit Court has its way, it will be again.
