Crime And The Constitution

Daniel talks to David Rydowski, a lawyer in Philadelphia, and Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Florida) about the crime legislation passed by the House of Representatives this week.

McCollum says that people are tired of criminals avoiding convictions on technicalities, but Rydowski is afraid that it would be a a violation of the Constitutional protection against illegal search and seizure.
