Title: ACLU Suing My Local DA, Seeking to Suppress Evidence
Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on March 11, 2009, 09:16:12 PM
DA busted a local accountant (Greeley, CO) who was filing taxes for illegal immigrants using stolen identities.

According to the ACLU the judge should suppress the ID's used in the fraud because it would be a violation of privacy rights of the illegals.

OBSERVATIONS

* Why isn't the ACLU fighting for the privacy rights of the people whose identities were stolen?

* When do criminals get a right to privacy to conduct unlawful acts?

* Tangentally: If there is no right to privacy for criminal behavior why is Roe v Wade allowed to endure if killing unborn children were to become illegal?

Motion to suppress shouldn't get anywhere if the credentials are not properly those of the people using them, there is no privacy right in OTHER people's protected information; if ACLU is intervening as a third party, the Judge can just blow them off for that matter.  Even aside from that, there are several ways to handle it without compromising the information or suppressing it, such as sealing the part of the record with the actual sensitive information, redacting parts of it, getting consent from the real ID owners, or closed evidentiary hearings to settle admissibility issues.
