twitterLetter: Supreme Court ruling foolhardy, dangerous
Sunday, March 26, 2006 | 7:02 a.m.
Wife beaters and criminals rejoice! The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that police officers must have a warrant to look for evidence in a couple's home unless both partners present agree to let them in.
This changes the long-standing rule that police could search with the consent of any adult living in the residence. Now your spouse cannot allow the police into your home or apartment without your consent - even if you just got through beating her up. And when the police retreat to obtain a warrant, you'll have time to silence your wife or to remove incriminating evidence.
Future rulings may include the requirement that police officers must operate with one arm tied behind their backs.
