And this is yet another example of the hypocrisy of the blind partisan right and how dishonest and inconsistent conservatives truly are.Then just look at my answer to lastamender.
Plus you can add this one.
In United States v. Becker, 929 F.2d 442 (9th Cir. 1991), when officers executed a search warrant on a residence an adjacent shop, they noticed what appeared to be a newly-poured concrete pad near the shop. The officers used d jackhammer to remove portions of the concrete slab. Underneath the concrete, officers found and seized evidence of methamphetamine. The Becker court found no constitutional violation, saying that the concrete slab was located within the area of the search warrant and thus, “searching beneath it was clearly within the scope of the warrant.” Id. at 446 Moreover, although the officers had time to obtain an additional warrant for the area under the slab, the court held that it was “unnecessary for them to do so because they already had a warrant to search the premises for precisely the type of evidence found under the slab.”
In any other situation ‘law and order’ conservatives would applaud and support such a ruling giving the state greater authority to conduct searches and seizures, thus limiting the scope of the Fourth Amendment to the disadvantage of citizens and to the benefit of the state.
But because the lawful, Constitutional search involved Trump, suddenly conservatives are ‘concerned’ about government overreach.
