Excerpt: Not satisfied with courts’ generous grants of “good faith” exceptions and other such loopholes, members
of a drug task force in Louisville, Ky. decided the U.S. Bill of Rights balance between freedom and power was too
heavily tilted toward freedom. At least three of the five member task force simply did not bother with search
warrants in many cases – at least not until after they had opened packages at a UPS processing facility. One
rogue cop on the task force did not even care enough to take the receipt out of the fast food trash he stuffed into
a purloined UPS package from which he had stolen cash. Among the three implicated, he was the only officer
charged with a crime related to the unauthorized searches of UPS packages at the Louisville facility.
