schestowitz@kushal @schestowitz The issue here is, if evidence is obtained in a way that is legally questionable ,  convictions can be quashed / overturned even for the most vile of individual.,  A good lawyer will be easily paid for as the other side (legal systen / taxpayers) will lose and pay the legal fees,   leaving predators free to carry on putting more lives at risk.Jun 15 17:45
