true. and detain me for 24 hours before they have to convince a DA
that they have a case. I'm OK with that. Just not with their ludicrous
notions of their own rights and powers.

right. however, afaik there are similar cases were people were
sentenced or at least incriminating evidence of police misconduct was
suppressed. I'll try and find them for you.
Keep in mind a conviction is not necessarily the final disposition of
such a case.
Often when the accused is convicted at the lowest level of the court
where the charges are first heard, he/she has to appeal the conviction
and it is over-turned in a higher level court.

no idea. as you know over 100% of the information on the internet is
true. Out of the 280% there is...
You do know, don't you, that 63% of all statistics quoted on the
internet are made up on the spot?
