Massachusetts high court rules Black Men within reason to flee Police; tosses gun conviction

Interesting but didn't Supreme Court just pass something where even if it's an illegal stop but the suspect has a warrant then evidence can be used?

Legal eagles please advise

"Typically, when police illegally stop an individual on the street without reasonable suspicion, any fruits of that stop—such as the discovery of illegal drugs—must be suppressed in court, because the stop was “unreasonable seizure” under the Fourth Amendment. Strieff gave the justices an opportunity to affirm this constitutional rule. But instead, Justice Stephen Breyer joined the court’s four conservatives to add a huge loophole to that long-established doctrine.

In an opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas, the court found that if an officer illegally stops an individual then discovers an arrest warrant—even for an incredibly minor crime, like a traffic violation—the stop is legitimized, and any evidence seized can be used in court. "

Shocking tbh. I heard they're super racist over there.

Liberals, forward thinking intellectuals, lots of racists. Boston has all that. I'm surprised to hear this come from a high court though. BPD is currently fighting having to wear body cams.
