While judges serve a purpose, supposedly, in the justice system many of their opinions are biased and not in line with our constitutional rights. Opinions are cheap and everyone has one but the constitution as written is the final stop. Even those jucges in the Supreme Court only offer opinions that have not been approved as constitutional amendments. Though some revere the supreme court as having the final word, they too have been wrong on many occasions. These judges, at all levels, are biased and influenced by personal and political pressures to make decisions that are unconstitutional by nature. Interperting the constitution is one thing but using their often wrong decisions as constitutional amendments is also unconstitutional. Only the congress and state representatives can make constitutioinal amendments to the constitutuon. Judges decisions are only an opinion that we all share individually with all having different opinions. Opinions are not constitutional amendments. Law enforcement in any agency must be bound and subject to the same constitution as all citizens without immunity to commit crimes. Infact, these individuals should be held to a higher standard and more restrictions place on their actions with accountability. We cannot have justice by enforcing injustice.

Actually, opinions of the U.S. Supreme are Constitutional by their very nature. The Constitution set the court up to make decisions regarding Constitutional questions. Like it or not, their opinion is the law as interpreted and enforced.
The fact of the matter is that Congress could never write a law involving a Constitutional right so broad as to cover every possible event. If the court's opinions get out of whack, Congress can step in with a more definitive amendment.
If the facts of this case are reported accurately, it appears that the issues are entry without invitation followed by a consent search. To this point the courts have allowed entry to stop a felony in progress. The problem with this one is that the transaction was over. A felony had occurred, but was no longer in progress. It will be interesting to read the Supreme Court's decision. A decision that cannot be appealed and will be the law.

Every law is subject to opinion. When cases are disputed, it is the opinion of police vs the opinion of the accused. Do the police win because their opinion is "more important"? Not in America!

A judge is asked to settle the difference of opinion, by offering a third opinion. They are not "creating law"; they are settling a dispute as to what the written law means.

Thankfully, this third opinion is reviewed by district judges to determine if Utah judges are ruling in compliance with the United States.
