This ruling turns on it's side the standard of "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt", and pushes the responsibility of "proof" beyond a reasonable doubt onto the defendants. This is NOT how our CJS is supposed to work!
Justice Sotomayor is correct that this ruling hollows out the 4th amendment protections. Sad day for justice.
