Supreme Court: Suck It, Fourth Amendment!

Back in January, we wrote about Kentucky v. King, when, during the arguments, we got to have Justice Scalia tell us that one important tool of policing was that criminals were stupid. Well, the joke’s on us! Eight to one, the Supreme Court agrees (decision here [PDF]) that if the police “hear something” that sounds like evidence being destroyed, because they come a-knocking, they can break down your door. This is one of those special days when liberals and libertarians come together in horror! Hold us closer, Justice Ginsburg, lone dissenter!
