Reagan Speaking In Hotel Ballroom
Ronald Reagan speaking in hotel ballroom. Probably during 1976 presidential campaign. Audio in at 25:28. WS Reagan at podium. CP-16 newscamera on tripod faces him - nice shot for press photography etc. Cuts to Cu as he answers a question. Cutaway to CUs of reporters taking notes. CU Reagan w/ audio: "One of the biggest interferences with doing justice is the exclusionary rule. Now this is the rule that is not a law, never passed by any legislature. It is based on a court decision so it is a ruling. And this is the ruling that says that if law enforement finds evidence of a crime that is not connected with their reason for search or seizure that it cannot introduced in evidence. And I will be talking about that when I talk this noon. The idea that if you find somebody going through a red light and when the policeman catches him for going through the red light finds a package of herion on the seat that a court will throw that out as evidence and say you can't hold the man on that charge, you only stopped him for going through a red light. I think it has become most unreasonable."
