I hear you friend, and I certainly wish it were that simple, but it isn’t. There is a whole body of case law on the legal reality that criminal cases can proceed even if the arrest/abduction was completely illegal. Look up the Ker-Frisbie doctrine.

I’m aware of the law around evidence suppression. All I’m saying is that the presence or involvement of guardsmen in an arrest does not mean the case definitely gets dismissed. Nor does their involvement, in and of itself, create a constitutional violation that would lead to suppression of evidence.
Certainly not saying PC act violations could *never* give rise to suppression, but it’s not cut and dry. See the 9th cir. in US v. Dreyer, where the court denied suppression for violation of the PC act, saying suppression is primarily a remedy for const violations as opposed to statutory ones.

This is legal precedent nationwide and it’s why cops act the way they do during investigations so they don’t fuck that up
Allowing this throws out THOUSANDS of cases for the department and they ain’t gonna do it
