In a head-spinning decision, California U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston ruled Tuesday that police must obtain warrants before pulling over speeding drivers, sparking conservative outrage, sources have confirmed.
The ruling, hailed by progressives as “revolutionary,” claims warrantless stops violate Fourth Amendment rights, effectively tying law enforcement’s hands.
“Speeders deserve privacy!” Thurston declared, per court documents, prompting cheers from ACLU activists and groans from sheriffs.
GOP lawmakers blasted the decision as “lunacy,” warning of free-for-all highways where speeders zoom unchecked.
“This is Biden’s California chaos on steroids,” one X post ranted, noting the state’s already lax enforcement.
Police unions, furious, say the ruling cripples traffic safety, while defense attorneys celebrate the “new era” of driver freedom.
Critics argue Thurston’s logic could extend to DUIs, paralyzing policing further.
As of press time, California speeders were spotted hosting “Warrant-Free Drag Race” parties on I-5.
