One way to help us watch our backs in our area undercovercopcars.com =)

 

Well, it WOULD help us, except there's not 1 "upload" in all of Washington. lol

 

Yup...Me too...If you respect them then they respect you...Nuff said...I know how hard their jobs are so i really don't want to disrepect them. Just be careful out there guys. I know some of you guys have bad experiences but hey not every cop is bad...

 

Good info. Im always on 205 and 14.

Good looking out!

 

Basically it says that any evidence obtained or derived using illegal means, is tainted and not admissable in court.

We studied a couple cases. Two of interest was:

1.) Murder case in wisconsin I believe. They never found the body, and there was insufficient evidence to prove a murder took place. They had a suspect. They transported him in a van. While in the van driving to HQ for interrogation, the two cops (I believe were athiests), who knew that the suspect was a devout catholic, talked to each other about how the murder victim would not get a proper catholic burial, etc, etc. (I forget what else they talked about). As a result of this conversation, the suspect apparently couldn't live with it anymore, and confessed to the murder, and led the police to where he ditched the body.

It was determined that since the suspect was not read his miranda rights yet he could not be interrogated yet. It was also determined that even tho the cops were talking to each other, their conversational topic was meant to illicit a response from the suspect. It was determined that this was in actuality an illegal interrogation. The confession and the location of the body were not allowed. Since there was lack of evidence to prove a murder happened, (they couldn't use the confession or the body), the suspect could not be charged with murder! Sad, but true.

2.) I forget the exact details of this other one, (it was a while ago, ok? ) Anyways, it was in the bay area. The police were investigating some leads for a case. They didn't have enough support to get a warrant, but wanted to have a "look around". So they burglarized this guy's office. While nosing around, they stumbled upon a photo in his desk or something like that which placed his father (IIRC) at the scene of the crime. The father was never a supsect at this point in time, as they thought it was his son.

It was determined that this photograph was obtained as a result of an illegal search/siezure, and was not admissable in court as evidence.

Anyways, I was saying this is probably apples to oranges, but I was thinking (based on the previous ticket mentioned earlier), that if the cop first committed an illegal act, then anything that happens as a result of it would be inadmissable.

 

Are you the IP coupe I bump into all the time on SR-14, taking the 164th exit? If so, I use to give you the thumbs up out the window to you all the time, but you keep ignoring me

 

from personally being employed in the law enforcement field, when cops try to ENTRAP a person (because thats what it is, it just depends on what state you live in to apply as such) is when the city needs money and turn to law enforcement to make up ways to fine citizens, which i personally its a croc of BS....questions in vancouver CA, is racing that bad that cops had to resort to taunting drivers to race so they can fine them, and whats the penalty for falling for their trick???

 

they do..in my tonw they have a un marked dodge charger with body kit and difusers lol..lokks sick and a corvette also got thos ugly impalas and cant forget the mustangs..but i thought ever area had those

 

What if you beat the undercover sti in a race?

There is a Acura NSX Highway Patrol car in Eastern Washington... I was in yakima at the VIN inspection place back when I bought a salvage title honda prelude and they had pictures of it on the walls and stuff...

 

Read about the yellow Subie in SCC a few months ago. They've had undercover WRX's up in B.C. for awhile now, too. Pretty crazy.
