Hi Rifleman,
Your courtroom scene is dead on. Save the arrest report would mention, the man to be 'panting from exertion', of suspicious demeanor, fill in the blank. True or not in a he said she said which would have the greater weight? Perjury? More likely 'reasonable deception."
However, should he win the first round the guy could starve to death paying his attorny before the civil rights case ever saw the first hearing much less made it through the appeals. The prosecutor and police, of course, having the presumption of innocence would be paying their legal fees from the vast resources of the state.
No, I would place squarely on the Constitution itself. Just as the Founders intended. A warrant signed by a judge after being presented with probable cause.
The other poster, I believe, mentioned hearing a scream in the background. How often an occurance is that? I know I read it in the papers every so often leading me to believe it's rare enough to be considered news.
Again, the citizen has the option to accept a bad search or bankrupt himself fighting the vast resources of the state in fighting it. If the citizen were to be unfortunate enough to get a judge like the one in Cass County Indiana years ago (I believe his name was Cox) who's judgments were based more on his benefit than the law he would be in trouble plenty.

Would you place it in the hands of apes, or I know how about horses...that's it, horses understand the Constitution...

How is the exigent circumstances rule making police officers more equal? The courts with the exclusionary rule are the check on the police.
