Can burglars use the same excuse?

We knocked on the door and alerted our victims and that created an emergency! From that moment, we had no other option but to do a home invasion, your honor. We are victims of circumstance.

@similarlysituated Are you really going to use that to justify searches without a warrant?

[similarlysituated]

In a poaching case officers got a search warrant for the suspects house. However someone inside the house later told the officers the suspects destroyed much of the evidence while the offficers were waiting for the warrant (the suspects were flushing the deer meat down the toilet - now the DNA of the meat can't be compared to the carcases in the fied). The witness also saw the suspects deleting info related to the poaching off the computer, and taking apart the rifle and hiding the pieces.

The federal is bankrupt; ethically, morally and existentially. It is too large governing over too diverse a range of peoples that its views are always wrong for some of the people... what good is that; policing is a matter of states rights and local elected sherriffs. The court has too much power, plain and simple.  When a body has too much power, it abuses it; and people disregard its moral authority, *rightfully so*.
