"Who knows what evidence can be collected if the rulebook is thrown away"

Pretty much all Europeans - the legality of evidence here is only refused in very intense cases (read: torture). And it works quite well tbh...



I would be interested to hear of any cases where in-admissable evidence is deemed admissable for the purposes of finding someone guilty. As a European (currently!) I would not want to allow this to continue.


>for the purposes of finding someone guilty

Also for finding someone innocent. You forgot that.

>As a European (currently!) I would not want to allow this to continue.

Because its drawbacks are?

True, some people may want to break the law to gain evidence to support someones defense. I have a gut feeling this is going to be in the minority of cases.

It's drawbacks are mainly being that it would be a massive retrograde step.
