June
12, 1972, a judge reversed defendant's conviction for unlawful possession of
LSD and remanded for a new trial that the search warrant used by Fair fax
County police lacked probable cause.
On
May 2, 2000 another court in a different case reversed a guilty verdict against
a man convicted for drug possession with intent to distribute because evidence
was seized in unlawful search due to illegal entry. The cops forget to mention they were cops so
they could get into the house and conduct a search.
On
the other hand, in 1987, four Fairfax County 911 dispatchers and call-takers
resigned after an internal investigation produced allegations that they had
used illegal drugs.
