I don't share your frustration.I’m aware of the current situation and it’s possible outcome I just find it
extremely frustrating given how it started , what was discovered and CB left it there.Illegal or legal the result is the same and the thought of somebody not being brought to justice or the contents of materials found not heard in a court are unacceptable. IMO
The law is how it is for a good reason and that is that police officers must carry out their investigations within the law.
Think how it would be if officers acted outside the law and fitted people up because they 'know they're a wrong un, or to massage conviction statistics, or to further their own career.
