Deputy lacked authority in search, ex-prosecutor says

Former Harris County prosecutor Jennifer Cook should be held up to all as a symbol of the complete inanity of the "War on Drugs":

"This is more from the standpoint of a Fourth Amendment violation ... It's an unlawful seizure," Cook said. "I wouldn't call it a theft."

I wonder if you could get away with robbing a bank by claiming it wasn't a theft, it was just an "illegal seizure"?

A Harris County sheriff's deputy did not have the authority to go to the home of a man who had photographed an officer at a drug raid or to destroy film in that man's camera, a former local prosecutor testified Thursday.
