You're not wrong, but that reality didn't stop a warrant from being issued or those envelopes from being opened
And justice being served eventually also doesn't help the person get the care they need in a timely manner. Abortions are safer when done earlier in the pregnancy, and often there are more legal hoops that have to be jumped through later in the pregnancy if they're not barred altogether. A court case settled a year or more later doesn't do much to help a woman who needs care now whether it's for immediate physical safety or to prevent her body from being used for life support for another person without her consent.
I don't disagree with any of that.
My point of positivity was for any defendants that are currently serving time or holding a criminal record for any narcotics charges attached from that police dog's (and his handler) prior actions.
Something about "justice deferred"...
Because judges usually need the support of the prosecutor and police to get re-elected. So the warrant will be issued, otherwise the judge is "soft on crime". It's never "the judge is strong on Constitutional rights."
Nothing stops police from intervening in any way shape or form. The only thing a warrant does is make the actions or evidence legal for future legal proceedings .
