WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave police more leeway to break into homes or apartments in search of illegal drugs when they suspect the evidence might be destroyed.
The justices said officers who smell marijuana and loudly knock on the door may break in if they hear sounds that suggest the residents are scurrying to hide the drugs.
Residents who "attempt to destroy evidence have only themselves to blame" when police burst in, Justice Samuel Alito said for an 8-1 majority.
So congratulations to us all.... it can no longer be rationally denied....We in the USA do in fact , undeniably , irrefutably , live in a police state tyranny.

Thanks, Justice Alito, you just gave every cop in America the perfect defense to illegal entry and suppression of civil rights under color of law: "I smelled pot and heard a toilet flushing so I rushed in to SAVE AMERICA FROM EVIL DRUGS!!"
