I hope the suspects' attorneys very carefully cross-examine all those involved with this search. I have a feeling it was contrived, to say the least.
Exactly. The cops had a wiretap, or an informant. Having the ETD "alert" on micrograms of LSD is the high-tech equivalent of "We stopped you because your taillight is burned out."
