The statment "it was ok for them to steal and destroy evidence" is falacious and sensationalist. Like you said, this is a case of inadmissible evidence, not a defense. There is a huge difference between the two. A defense is essentially an excuse for the crime, such as a claim of self defense in a murder trial. This essentially makes what would have been a crime legal. Inadmissible evidence on the other hand simply strikes the evidence down (as well as the fruits of the poisonous tree) and allows the case to proceed if there is still enough evidence.

The language you used showed a clear lack of understanding or a clear spin. That misrepresentation is why I said that you didn't know what you are talking about.

 

So you think it is acceptable behavior for the police to things normal citizen would get trouble:

You seem to be struggling with reading comprehension. I merely took issue with how you represented the law. Getting evidence thrown out in no way makes a crime "okay", it simply makes it more difficult to be prosecuted. It is not in any way being forgiven for crimes that have been commited or an acknowledgement that what they did was "acceptable behavior".
