“The abhorrence of society to the use of involuntary confessions does not turn alone on their inherent untrustworthiness. It also turns on the deep-rooted feeling that the police must obey the law while enforcing the law; that, in the end, life and liberty can be as much endangered from illegal methods used to convict those thought to be criminals as from the actual criminals themselves.” DoeEndsUseFeelingsLawUsedTurnsLibertyPoliceMethodCriminalsIllegalRootedConfessionInherentInvoluntaryConvictsAbhorrence Author:Earl Warren
“Strength, the American way, is not manifested by threats of criminal prosecution or police state methods. Leadership is not manifested by coercion, even against the resented.

“I want the state to take away people's guns. But I don't want the state to use methods against gun owners that I deplore when used against naughty children, sexual minorities, drug users, and unsightly drinkers. Since such reprehensible police practices are probably needed to make anti-gun laws effective, my proposal to ban all guns should probably be marked a failure before it is even tried.” PeopleWantShouldChildrenStatesUseLawUsedPracticeNeededDrugGunPoliceMethodMinoritiesOwnersUsersProposalBansNaughtyUsing MeDrinkersGun OwnersAnti GunGun Law Book:Crime and Punishment: A Radical Solution Source: Crime and Punishment: A Radical Solution

Write on the police car. Write on the judge. I'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and I keep writing on the writing I wrote.

“Drug offenses ... may be regarded as the prototypes of non-victim crimes today. The private nature of the sale and use of these drugs has led the police to resort to methods of detection and surveillance that intrude upon our privacy, including illegal search, eavesdropping, and entrapment. Indeed, the successful prosecution of such cases often requires police infringement of the constitutional protections that safeguard the privacy of individuals.” MayUseTodayIndividualLibertyCasesSuccessfulCrimeDrugPoliceMethodVictimIncludingProtectionTyrannyPrivacyIllegalOffenseResortsSurveillanceProsecutionPrototypeDetectionEavesdroppingInfringementEntrapment Author:John Kaplan
