However, Carro ruled that a second search of the backpack at a police station was lawful and that items recovered then -- including a gun, silencer, USB drive and red notebook -- ​would be admissible.

Since the police said they stopped violating his rights partway through an illegal search then the rest of the stuff still counts apparently.

    The items they probably put in there during the illegal search.... facepalm

    plus the backpack after the fact is suspicious in itself. i wonder if they use surveillance AI/palantir to track him, some people illuded to them doing so.(how else was he found so fast, and that mysterious mcdonalds call.

    Don't even need AI/palantir to arrest a rando actor. They hired him to be there. So of course they know where exactly to find him.

    There really is no other explanation.

    Imagine if you are the production company, keep in mind protest actors are routinely hired, and the cops STILL find a way to mess this up! it's like the female officer was given a different script than everyone else.

    yeah yeah it's a bomb duh! Oh look a zipper lets pull it. In case anyone needs to know in the future how to design a trigger.

    Oh wow this guy is handsome lets look dig thru the bomb bag for his wallet and look for his id and see if he was cuter when he was younger. DUH!

    I'm feeling scared just walking thru what that lady was doing.

    graduated from clownworld to Twilight zone.

    I'm surprised this was allowed at all. The chain of custody on that evidence is incredibly suspect.

    This honestly feels like they're deliberately giving ammo to the defense team.

    ...well, assuming there's any intention to actually adhere to the law, which isn't the safest of assumptions nowadays.

    The cops are more of a troop of clowns than the US govt announcements during Iran war. That is overachieving.

    The judge should not be trying to salvage a case based on an obvious and undeniable illegal search. That just makes that judge look like from a foreign country. He's really digging deep trying to keep this going.

    This sort of shit is why people continue to lose faith in the courts. The legal world chodes can blame politics all they want, but it all comes back to courts screwing over normal people to back up corrupt cops and prosecutors.

    The courts err on the side of giving themselves and the government more power at the expense of our rights. They've earned our distrust.

    They've completely eviscerated the spirit of the 4th amendment.

    The prosecutor is the only group that has not done anything wrong, besides being thrown a shit sandwich. i'm not seeing prosecutor misconduct and would be very open to hearing more about that and supported by the published documents.

    The issue is cops clearly making a mess of a very high profile case. Then the warrant rubber stamper and the trial judge both having delusions.

    No jury can possibly take this case seriously. NY should throw in the towel. The warrant judge is not a warrant judge. Just another rando.

    This gives a clear reason to appeal, but the actual trial is going to be so embarrassing, doubt the legal system can survive such scrutiny.

    Really can't determine which country Pennsylvania belongs from the actions of the people they've placed in positions of authority.
