    Wouldn’t this mean the evidence is gathered illegally, potentially doing more harm than good for the state prosecutors?

      I don’t think they’ll care too much about process violations in those states.

        Generally speaking, prosecutors care a lot about shit that’ll tank their case.

        But superior courts should. It will be a long and drawn out appeals process but there’s no way a reasonable judge will look at the circumstances and side with prosecution.

          Yeah, there’s definitely a lack of those in the US. The Supreme Court has shown they don’t care about standing any more, I’m sure process is the next thing they’ll ignore to get a favourable outcome.
