This is a court case from Virginia where officers searched a man’s car because they saw what appeared to be home made cds on the seat of the car. They then found marijuana and arrested the man. He appealed the decision and the eveidence of the marijuana was thrown out because of the unlawful search. What I find very interesting is the officers had “training from the recording industry in recognizing pirated cds.” What if the guy was a musician and it was his music? Talk about guilty until proven innocent. Where does the recording industry’s influence stop? They are conducting raids in foreign countries, training police here, what next? Their own terror squad?

wtf i dont even keep any originals in my car because they will get trashed all mine are burned.
Not only that half the time I get searched just because they feel like it with no probable cause at all…
At least here in Estonia police is too busy to make that kind of stupid moves… Even if we just got our own FBI man to teach the police anti-piracy actions…
that… is…just.. FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
The MPAA and RIAA should be on the list of terrorist organizations.
We must stiop them and to do so stop feeding them – don’t give them our money: I mean a TOTAL boycott!
And DON’T vote for all those dirty corrupt politicians that side with them.
Carmas Jonah McLaughlin appeals his conviction for possession of marijuana with intent
to distribute. He contends the police did not have probable cause to search the vehicle he
occupied and that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. [bWe agree that the
police did not have probable cause to search the vehicle. Therefore we reverse the conviction. [/b]
Guys it’s no problem the judge wasn’t a total dumbass.
Interesting. If these songs were in MP3 format and on an Ipod–but still bootleg copies–how would the cops know? I always have copies in my car. Only a fool would keep originals in there with all that heat and cold alternating. Treating C.D.’s like drugs. How fuckin’ ridiculous!
I suppose I might get death penalty in my state. No not for the dead bodies in my trunk but for the hundreds of CD’s I have in my “car book”. It holds something like 328 disks or something. Maybe I should be more careful and hide it in the trunk with the bodies.
Or maybe you should get a hard drive built in your dask instead of wasting time and space with hundreds of cd’s
