Love this show and once again another great episode. However, this episode shows exactly why policing rules were changed. Tragg is able to enter people's homes without serving a warrant even when he doesn't have exact proof of their involvement. He always gets the search warrant on the flimsiest of evidence. What judge is signing off on these warrants? The constitution protects against unlawful search and seizure but not in the world of Perry Mason. Tragg also refuses to allow Perry to accompany his client for questioning. So the police can elicit a confession or other incriminating evidence behind closed doors or protection for the suspect. The Miranda case was ruled upon in the mid-60s so there's no rule about having an attorney present for questioning yet. It's no wonder the police and Burger always get it wrong. They take the first suspect they see and try to convict him. Watching this in the 21st century, it's strange to see the ways in which suspects' rights are trampled upon by the police. Another thing we see is how the police have access to things they would not be able to access today. Technology is better now but apparently in 1960 they were smarter or more intuitive. They always criticize Perry for his court antics, but he also always finds the guilty party. Why isn't Burger or Tragg criticized for arresting innocent people and ruining their lives?
Perry Mason is one of the best tv shows the have one excellent lawyer fighting with a couple of corrupt homicide cops, and a lawyer named Burger who always trying to get the real criminals free it always seems that they've judged them before they even been to court. 😅😅😅
