"I used BUSTED in my criminal procedure class. It was a big hit! The students felt it was a great way to review the course materials and several asked if they could have a video. I’ll be teaching this class again next year and plan to show your video on the first day of class -- which my students felt would be a real attention-getter. Thanks for the video!"

More than that, this site would be easier to take seriously if it didn't seem geared towards keeping a bunch of pot smoking losers out of jail.
The info is spot-on: the best way to defend one's rights is to exercise them at every reasonable opportunity, and we must always guard ourselves against the power of the government. This site's goal of educating people to that end is admirable. However, the loftiness of that goal ends where the veiled assertions that the Bill of Rights exists to protect the guilty begin. The amendments to the Bill of Rights in question were written to protect the *innocent* and they lay out a rough procedure in handling those suspected of crimes (warrants, compensation for confiscation, etc.), as well as those found guilty of them (no cruel and unusual punishments, double jeopardy, etc.).
The Bill of Rights is NOT a shroud for criminals to hide behind, and perverting it to help dope smokers is, frankly, pretty unethical. I'm not saying drug users don't have rights; they certainly do and they deserve to be treated fairly. But this site's bias is obvious and it's awful slimy.
You can debate the rightness of drug laws all day, but as of now, possession and use of drugs is still illegal, and until drug users learn to control themselves and quit being a nuisance to society when they're high, drugs will remain illegal. The police have the right, delegated to them by the people, to seek and apprehend law breakers in any way available to them legally. If that means tricking or intimidating a stupid pot head, great. If you don't like that, try moving to a different country where the average citizen contact with the police begins with a beating and we'll see how long it takes for you to come running back to this "oppressive police state" called America.
Sorry, but them's just the facts.
Oh, and as a side note, the alliance between this site and the ACLU is a joke. The ACLU could be taken seriously too if only they believed in defending ALL the amendments instead of just the ones they personally believe in...
