Heh!

In the US, the case would have been tossed as the gun was the fruit of
an unlawful search.

Indeed. It's precisely and specifically due to abuses such as this,
which the British Crown has been perpetrating against its subjects for
at least a quarter of a millennium, that our Bill of Rights places
tight restrictions on the government's authority to carry out
searches:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the
place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

I thank God that I live in America, not in Britain. And that we here
are citizens. Not subjects.


for the time being......Comrade Obama is working hard to change that.
