Clear case of subsequent searches based on the fruit of the poisoned tree. The only evidence is that backpack.

The forum is clearly NY law would apply, but the judge is trying hard to ignore the initial clearly illegal search. And give the officers every chance to continue doing whatever they'd like to do as long as it seems structured/organized.

The three or eight officers. Both situations, a reasonable person, would assume they are not free to leave. Those three officers would love to see you try!

These officers also broke down a detained suspect by never stop talking at him. And we asking investigative questions and not having a casual unrelated conversation. The rando dude at a McDonalds was being tossed around by the equivalent of a rape gang. There was clear intimidation to elicit continuous conversation after the rando dude said he'd like to remain silent and was not given any chance to do so.

But the biggest question i have is what is the purpose of the Pennsylvania judge approving the search warrant after it's clear as day an illegal search has occurred and the warrant is based on that evidence and only that evidence?!

The political activists pretending to be judges cannot save this case. Any reasonable jury would toss it based on the initial illegal search. At what point were they ever going to be serious about obtaining a search warrant? Really not convinced that is really any concern that Pennsylvania cares about.

The chain of custody is also all over the place. Any jury, in this era, will be hyper aware of chain of custody issues after all the voting machine issues during the last presidential election.

This case is doomed. All they had to do is kick everyone out of that McDonalds, including themselves, and leave the backpack untouched in the McDonalds but in their line of sight. And get that warrant. Especially if they want to be taken seriously that their excuse. There is always an excuse. But their actions and their excuse proves they are a gang, not a law enforcement agency.

Even with body cameras they still manage to mess this situation up .... badly.

Impressive.
