If you have a warrant out for your arrest and you're standing in front of a police officer and they know this information then they can both arrest and search you before arresting you. The Supreme Court ruling is saying it doesn't matter how the officer found out you had a warrant once they have the knowledge that search is legal because they can arrest you and the search is part of that process.So what is considered "illegal" searches, are now legitimate if you happen to have a warrant...
And how the fukk does 75% of ferguson have arrest warrants out... Wtf
I guess my issue is more with the stop itself than the search after the fact. If he shouldn't have been stopped then everything should have ended there. This sets a precedent so that officers will stop people to look for warrants on them so they can search them.
Its bad enough I gotta be driving home and get pulled over cause I'm black and told that my car fits the description of one that was fleeing from a domestic depute just so the officer can run a check on me. Now I can get stopped on the street cause they'll be looking for the same thing.
