JUDGE FOLLOWED CLEAR STATE LAWS

Skahan made the hard decision her oath of office mandates her to make.

Too bad the sheriff's deputy overstepped his authority and violated the
Constitution. Is the right against unlawful search and seizure a mere
"technicality" for protecting alleged drug couriers, or is it a real
protection for us all against overzealous law enforcement? If police were
more concerned with understanding the law and upholding the Constitution,
which they also take an oath to follow, I would feel much more safe and
secure in my rights as an American.

Police officers trampling constitutional rights are a much greater threat
to our freedom than the release of one drug courier whose rights are
designated a mere "technicality."
