Court says evidence is valid despite police error – Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court said Wednesday that evidence obtained after illegal searches or arrests based on simple police mistakes may be used to prosecute criminal defendants.

They can arrest you, go into your car, pockets, and I’m assuming your house, and anything they find is A-OK.  All that matters is that they believe they are within the law.
