Totally agree. Not to threadjack, but a lot of people who criticize X, Y, or Z aspect of the legal system generally don't understand that there is a common-sense reason why the system is the way it is.
i really disagree. i think this is why our legal system is such a mess. if someone kills someone, throws the gun on the floor of their car, and gets pulled over for speeding, does the officer have probable cause to pick up the gun? this should be common sense, but alot of times its inadmissible in court

Like the laws against Marijuana?
I'm struggling to find any common sense there.

James thrash is one of the players sitting on the board working with the Comish on these issues. I don't think any of the six had anything to do with this but just read he was on the board.

I'll agree that marijuana laws are kinda dumb to me, but the fact is that they represent community standards. They can be repealed as soon as enough people apply pressure to their state legislatures to do so. Moreover, the penalties for possession of marijuana are really light and typically involve paying a relatively small fine. Almost no one does "time" for simple possession.
Dmek, with regard to the suppression of evidence, the law is pretty fair and evidence usually will not be suppressed without a damn good reason. In your hypo, the gun would be admissible in any jurisdiction with which I'm familiar.
I'm no legal scholar, but my limited experience with the law has led me to believe that it's getting a bad rap. Matty, you probably feel the same way about the insurance industry.
