I am always taken back when I hear about such cases. Back here in Germany there are no rules against destroying evidence against you. We derive this from the fact that "you have the right to remain silent", meaning that no one can be forced to testify against himself. If law enforcement does not prevent the (alleged) destruction of evidence, that is bad luck for law enforcement. On the other hand, search warrants are relatively easy to obtain and the fruit of the poisonous tree is legit in court for all but the most blatant cases, which have to be declared expressively by the judge.

Of course not, that darn dog has to do something to earn his keep.

WE do what? The availability of sleepers is declining fast, most are old and will not be replaced when their time is up.

On the other hand we had no choice in putting up that legal system, it was dictated by our genetics, too.
