Chapter 384: (Its a Sin) (1/2)
US SUPREME COURT RULES ON COBRIAT v. US DOJ
Originally developed for scientific and historical use, temporal lensing is a critical tool in modern law enforcement. However, this tool has recently come under fire in the case of Miles Cobriat vs the US Department of Justice.
The use of temporal lensing for law enforcement has grown in the past six years from federal agency use to small town law enforcement agencies. The use of temporal lensing has allowed law enforcement to correctly identify people who have committed crimes with a nearly perfect record, bypassing the need for witnesses, and in some cases, as it was in the trial of Miles Cobriat, who had been accussed of a brutal series of rapes that took place in multiple states over a period of ten years, without the need for any evidence beyond temporal lensing recordings.
However, lawyers for Cobriat have long argued that no warrant for temporal imaging was ever issued, nor is there any method for obtaining temporal imaging to preserve the integrity of the imaging. While juries are shown the events as recorded by temporal lensing, there is no paper trial, chain of custody, evidence procedures, or any other legal defenses for the accused.
”If the act of viewing a particle can change the state of the particle, how do we know that the act of observing an event does not alter it in some way that convicts an innocent man? For that matter, how do we know it's actually the event in question that was recorded on the temporal lens and not a computer generated simulation?” argued the lawyers for Mr. Cobriat.
Temporal lensing has been in use by law enforcement agencies for nearly six years, resulting in drop in crime of nearly 14% across the United States.
Today, the Supreme Court ruled on the use of temporal lensing by law enforcement agencies.
In a split decision of 5-4, the use of temporal lensing by law enforcement, without a specific warrant to search the 'temporal premises' as well as the physical premises, was ruled illegal.
This has put a stop to all uses of temporal lensing by US law enforcement, as well as forcing nearly two million court cases to be retried based on 'traditional evidence', which victim advocacy groups claim will put tens of thousands of hardened criminals back on the streets.
