Appeals Court Tells Cops They Can’t Hold A House Hostage For Hours Before Finally Deciding To Get A Warrant
a drug overdose would suggest the presence of illegal drugs. But their decision to hold a home hostage while they engaged in an ancillary investigation shows these cops were only concerned with turning an unfortunate event into criminal charges.
Well, dam wish there was precedent in Scotland for this "game changer" for several reasons
Main reason a lot of people when dealing with someone who has overdosed in a house/flat won't call authorities cause they know police will arrive 1st, usually they do before any ambulance, they try dealing with it in other ways they ways ain't pretty and result in deaths more often than not
Knowing police can't use an overdose as a way to "hold the house hostage" and search it without a legal warrant could save lives
That's why its a "game changer"
