Cops enforce the law... WAIT, IF they know the law. WAIT...MUST they know the law? Apparently, it doesn't matter!!! Constitution pissed on again.
Unfortunately, you may be right.The beginning of the end my friend.
This really isn't as big a deal as you're making it out to be. In order to do a stop and frisk, or search, a cop must have reasonable belief that a crime was committed. He still does, even if his thought is flawed, he still must have reason to do the stop.
I would prefer that cops be knowledgable about the Laws they are supposed to uphold, but I don't know too many that have Law degrees. Hell, even Judges and lawyers I know often need help in figuring out what exactly the law is on occasion...
The ULTIMATE loophole......In order to do a stop and frisk, or search, a cop must have reasonable belief that a crime was committed. He still does, even if his thought is flawed, he still must have reason to do the stop.
