Sam’s ex-husband Peter may be released from prison because the evidence taken from his apartment might be considered an illegal seizure since they didn’t have a warrant. Did you think that could be a real possibility? Did you have questions about the legality of it all at the time it happened?

I was really miffed that such smart cops let that happen.

Yes, they should have waited for the warrant.

Certainly should have waited for that warrant. Peter wasn't in his apartment when they decided to go in, so it wasn't a case of thinking he may destroy evidence before they could get a warrant. They jumped the gun and it costs them.

I agree with everyone. They should have waited and now it has cost them (and especially Sam).

I agree. There is some leeway if there is eminent danger, but in this case, they should have waited.

Such a shame. I understood their zeal to nail this guy but you’ve got to follow procedure. This was avoidable but it still stung.
