dropsy testimony

Read a random definition: jailer

A quick definition of dropsy testimony:

Dropsy testimony is when a police officer lies in court and says that a suspect dropped illegal drugs, which the police then use as a reason to arrest the suspect. This is done when the police don't have a good reason to arrest the suspect. It's called "dropsy" because the officer claims the suspect dropped the drugs. This is not allowed in court, but it used to happen a lot before a court case called Mapp v. Ohio.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dropsy testimony is a slang term used to describe a police officer's false testimony that a fleeing suspect dropped an illegal substance that was then confiscated by the police and used as probable cause for arresting the suspect. This type of testimony is given when an arrest has been made without probable cause, as when illegal substances have been found through an improper search.

Example: A police officer stops a person on the street and searches them without probable cause. The officer finds drugs on the person and arrests them. In court, the officer testifies that the person dropped the drugs on the ground while running away, which gave the officer probable cause to make the arrest. This is an example of dropsy testimony.

This type of testimony is illegal and unethical because it is a lie told by a police officer to cover up an illegal search. It is important for the justice system to ensure that all evidence presented in court is obtained legally and truthfully.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”
11:06
lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?
