They'll illegally search first then they'll get a warrant later.

    This the first case I've ever heard of like this. It's judicial activism at its worst. We'll see how any appeal goes.

    This is a ripple effect from a Supreme Court decision. And no surprise law and order texas took advantage of it.

    My son moved to Austin this summer. I told him to open his eyes and watch what goes on. They just had SXSW this past week with ~100 open carry participants. Last year the TSA was there. Times are going to get interesting!

    He's probably working a plea deal by informing on others. I can't believe that a judge allowed that. Must be a recent appointee from the current administration.

    So what part of "shall not be violated, and no Warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause,…" do these people not understand. A CI's comment is not probable cause. It's not even reasonable suspicion, since the CI's being paid.
