  Seems like there's a choice to be made...

  on Louisiana Drug Warriors Bungle Surveillance So Badly Their Target Catches Them Placing A Tracking Device On Her Car

  By the same logic which allows persons to be prosecuted for drug possession after officers have placed drugs in their vehicles, this device is now the property of the person to whose vehicle it was attached.

  Alternatively, law enforcement can claim ownership of the device and by the same stroke, it owns any illegal drugs "found" in vehicles, thereby making the vehicle owner inelegible for charges of possession.

  Which way do you think it will go?

  In addition, failure to correct the training means the agency or city remains perpetually liable for that violation (and any that follow) until such time as that training is demonstrably corrected.

  If the court accepts "training and expertise" as a legitimate defense of the individual officers, then -- by definition -- the very same ruling determines that the law enforcement agency and/or city employing those defendants is unquestionably liable for the violations committed by the defendants.
