What if the police came into your place and did a search (assuming were are innocent) How would you like it if the cops starting using your game console? Ate your food? Slept in your bed? I'm sure you wouldn't like that. I'm not saying I support criminals, but sometimes cops can abuse their power too. As was the case in this situation.

It would not surprise me at all if the judge in the case decided to disallow all evidence more as a punishment than as saying that they essentially seized the wii.  Even seized property can't be used for a cop's general entertainment.  As much as I hate the idea of the drug dealer getting away with it, I consider the idea of cops abusing their power to be more threatening to everybody than a drug dealer.

Actually, I would rather the judge accept the evidence, but not only that throw a fine at the police officers. That way you don't let the drug dealer walk, but you also slap the wrists of the police in a much more meaningful way then letting a criminal go free.
