NO.(S) 1215971D & 1215973D, a CLEAR ABUSE OF DISCRETION WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT, EVEN
EXCLUDING THE DOG SNIFF, THE MAGISTRATE COULD HAVE REASONABLY FOUND THAT THE SEARCH
WARRANT AFFIDAVIT ESTABLISHED PROBABLE CAUSE (Based on this conclusion, we do not reach
whether JARDINES should apply retroactively. See Tex R App P 47.1, Id. at SEPTEMBER 25,
2014, OPINION ON REMAND, PER CURIAM, at pg. 9).
      Not only did the COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS enter into a CLEAR ABUSE
OF DISCRETIQN, they have enjoined into "A CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL AND IGNORE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAW PRECEDENTS" with said conscious, intentional, and reckless MOVE / ORDER to
undermine the precedented RULE OF LAW, thereby, removing themselves from anv realm of
immunity and/or absolute immunity through said careless acts under COLOR OF JUDICIAL

                                          BACKGROUND

    RELATOR was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with
the. intent to deliver. A dog sniff at his front door lead to the charges against him.
The 'SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS did not have the benefit of JARDINES, accordingly
this TEXAS COURT   0~   CRIMINAL APPEALS GRANTED RELATOR'S PETITIONS FOR DISCRETIONARY
REVIEW, VACATED THE JUDGEMENTS of the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS and REMANDED
these cases to the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS in light of JARDINES (RIVAS II,
NO.(S) PD-0490-13 & PD-0491-13, DELIVERED OCTOBER 23, 2013, Id. at per curiam, opin.)
(Publish).
    OPINION ON REMAND, the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS, at I. INTRODUCTION, Conclude
that JARDINES does not affect the outcome, and affirm (NO.(S) 02-12-00062-CR & 02-12-
00063-CR, per curiam, opin. delivered SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, Id. at *4, 9). With a·final
conclusion, "Therefore, we conclude that, even excluding the dog sniff, the magistrate
could have reasonably found that the search warrant        affi~avit   established probable
cause. (Ln. 5, Based on this conclusion, we do not reach whether-JARDINES should apply
retroactively. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.1.) III. CONCLUSION, Having considered our prior
opinion in light of JARDINES as directed by the COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS, we affirm
the trial court's judgement", Id. at *9, supra.

                                      CASE(S) DISCUSSION

   -Based on-RELATOR'S arrest for possession of the controlled'substances in the cases
supra, RIVAS IL Id., the STATE moved to adjudicate RELATOR'S guilt in three prior drug
possession cases. RIVAS v STATE (RIVAS I), NO.(S) 02-11-00203-CR, 02-,11-00204-CR, and
02-ll-00205-CR, 2012 WL 5512450, at *1-:-2, 5 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth, Nov. 15, 2012, no
pet.)(mem. op., not designated for publication).
    RELATOR filed a MOTION TO SUPPRESS, which the trial court denied. RELATOR then
entered an open plea of guilt to the charges supra, RIVAS II, Id., and the trial court
sentenced him to 17 years in prison on_each count, to run concurrently. (RIVAS II,
CRIMINAL-DISTRICT COURT NO.4 OF TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, NO.(S) 1215971D & 1215973D).
    On APPEAL, RELATOR argued that the trial court erred in denying his MOTION TO
SUPPRESS citing BOTH, KYLLO v UNITED STATES, 533 US 27, 121 S Ct 2038, 150 LEd 2d 94,
NO. 99-8508, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT JUNE 11, 2001, argued FEBRUARY 20, 2001,

                                        (CONTINUED)

Tex. App. LEXIS 2730 (Tex. App.- Fort Worth MARCH 14, 2013)(not designated for
publicat1on). The SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS' determination for affirmation of
conviction was based solev as, "after determining that the MAGISTRATE had a SUBSTANTIAL
BASIS FOR CONCLUDING that the SEARCH WARRANT WAS SUPPORTED BY PROBABLE CAUSE                   BASED ON

A DRUG-SNIFFING POLICE DOG'S ALERT TO RIVAS'           FRONT- .DOOR   eE THE SAME DAY THAT THE WARRANT
WAS OBTAINED AND EXECUTED."    Id. at *1, 5. This was the reasoning even though, "RIVAS
argues that the warrantless open-air:: sniff of his apartment door was illegal; however,
this court (SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS) has held otherwise. See ROMO v STATE, 315
SW 3d 565,   573   (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2010, pet. ref'd)(citing RODRIGUEZ v STATE, 106
SW 3d 224, 228-29 (Tex. App.-Houston [lst Dist.] 2003, pet. ref'd), cert. denied, 540
US 1189 (2004), for the proposition that 'A.DRUG DETECTION IXJG'S SNIFF OF THE FRONT IXX>R
OF A DEFENDANT 1 S HOME IS LEGAL BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN
THE AREA AROUND AN UNENCLOSED FRONT IXX>R 1   }.       Thus, we (SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS)
hold that the open-air dog sniff of the front door to RIVAs'·apartment was LEGAL and,
consistent with our (SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS) .holding ih RIVAS I, was
sufficient to establish probable cause for the search warrant. See 2012 WL 5512450, at
*5. We (SECOND COURT OF APPEALS) overrule RIVAS' first point." RIVAS II, supra, Id. at
3, 4.
    The RULINGS IN BOTH, ROMO and RODRIGUEZ, supra, Id.i are in DIRECT CONTRADICTICE to
KYLLO, supra, Id., as RULED by the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS INCLUDING THEIR
RULING OF RIVAS I & II, supra, Id .. This ASSERTICE IS PRECEDENTED ON THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT IN: JARDINES, supra, Id., as (3) three SUPREME COURT JUSTICES CONCUR,
JUSTICE KAGAN, JUSTICE GINSBURG, and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR join in JARDINES, which was
DECIDED UNDER A PROPERTY RUBIC, to CONCLUDE THAT THE ISSUES OF JARDINES HAD ALREADY
BEEN RESOLVED UNDER PRIVACY GROUNDS EXPLAINED IN KYLLO,               supra, Id.; KYLLO, supra, Id.,
THE KYLLO COURT HELD that POLICE OFFICERS CONDUCTED A SEARCH when                  th~y   used a thermal-
imaging device to detect heat emenating FROM A PRIVATE HOME (A TRIPLEX}, EVEN THOUGH
THEY COMMITTED NO TRESPASS. HIGHLIGHTING, OR INTENTION TO, DRAW BOTH A "FIRM AND A

       1) arise under the ordinances of the municipality; AND
       2) are punishable by a fine not to exceed:
       A) $2,000·in all cases arising under the municipality ordinances that govern fire
safety, zoning, or public health and sanitation, including dumping of refuse; OR
       B) $500 in all other cases arising under a municipal ordinance.
   b) The municipal court shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the justice court of

    The STATE ADJUDICATION was contrary to clearly established FEDERAL.LAW as determined
by the SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, or involved an unreasonable application of
clearly established FEDERAL LAW as determined by said SUPREME COURT. HARRINGTON v

STATE COURT decision is contrary to FEDERAL PRECEDENTS if it applies a rule that
CONTRADICTS the GOVERNING LAW SET.FORTH BY THE SUPREME COURT, or if it CONFRONTS A SET
OF FACTS that are MATERIALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM SUCH A DECISION·AND ARRIVES AT A
RESULT DIFFERENT FROM THE SUPREME COURT     PRECEDENT~   EARLY v PACKER, 537 US 3, 7-8, 123

    A STATE COURT unreasonably applies SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT if it UNREASONABLY APPLIES

                                               EXCLUSIONARY RULE


A. FEDERAL CASE LAW
        The exclusionary rule "is a judicially created remedy to safegaurd FOURTH AMENDMENT
RIGHTS generally through DETERRENT EFFECT, rather than a personal CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
of a party aggrieved." UNITED STATES v CALANDRA, 414 US 338,. 348, 94 S Ct 613, 38 LEd
2d 561 ( 1974) . The exclusionary rule's SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DETER FUTURE FOURTH AMENDMENT
VIOLATIONS. Id., citing UNITED STATES v LEON, 468 USB97., 909 ~. 921 n. 2, 104 S Ct 3405,
82 LEd 2d 677 (1984).Furthermore, applicability of the exclusionary rule,is limited to·
situations in which DETERRENCE IS "THOUGHT MOST EFFICACIOUSLY SERVED." See DAVIS.v United
STATES~    · · · us.   ,   131   s Ct 2419, 2426, 180: L Ed 2d 285 ( 2011) , citing CALANDRA ,414 us at2434.
        The SUPREME COURT has long recognized that APPLICATION OF THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE
involves consideration of the actions of the officers involved in order to determine
whether the REQUISITE DETERRENT EFFECT WILL BE ACHIEVED. See DAVIS, 131 S Ct at 2434;
ILLINIOS v KRULL, 480 US 340, 350, 107 S Ct 1160, 94 LEd 2d 364 (1987); UNITED STATES
v PELTIER, 422 US 531, 537, 95 S Ct 2313, 2318, 45 LEd 2d 374 (1975).
        The SUPREME COURT in DAVIS held that ·the GANT RULE applied retroactively, but that
evidence obtained during the search conducted IN REASONABLE RELIANCE ON THEN - BINDING
PRECEDENT was not subject to the exclusionary rule. DAVIS, 131 S Ct at 2429, 2434; see
also, ARIZONA v GANT, 552 US 332, 352, 129 S Ct 1710, 170 LEd 2d 274 (2008).
        The SUPREME COURT declared that "[w]hen the POLICE EXHIBIT "DELIBERATE," "RECKLESS,"
OR "GROSSLY NEGLIGENT" DisREGARD FOR.· FOURTH AMENDMENT ·RIGHTS, THE DETERRENT VALUE OF
EXCLUSION IS STRONG AND TENDS TO OUTWEIGH THE RESULTING COSTS." DAVIS, supra, at 2427
Id ..
        Similarly, in KRULL, 480 US at 342-43. One day after the search was conducted, a
federal court declared the statute unconstisutionaL ID. at 340. Declaring that THE
PURPOSE OF THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE IS TO DETER FUTURE UNLAWFUL POLICE CONDUCT, THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT HELD that the FOURTH AMENDMENT'S EXCLUSIONARY RULE DID NOT.APPLY



                                                        9                                              q

                                         (CONTINUED)

WHEN   AN OFFICER'S RELIANCE ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A STATUTE IS OBJECTIVELY
REASONABLE,    EVEN THOUGH the statute is subsequently declared unconstitutional. Id. at
347, 350.
       In PELTIER, THE SUPREME COURT determined ... "If the PURPOSE OF THE EXCLUSIONARY
RULE IS TO DETER UNLAWFUL POLICE CONDUCT, THEN EVIDENCE OBTAINED FROM A SEARCH SHOULD

BE SITePRESSED   ONLY IF IT CAN BE SAID THAT. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAD KNOWLEDGE,
OR MAY PROPERLY BE CHARGED WITH KNOWLEDGE, THAT THE SEARCH WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER
THE FOURTH AMENDEMENT."    :PELTIER, supra:, 422>US at 542, Id ..

B. TEXAS CASE LAW
    Similar to the FOURTH AMENDMENT, ARTICLE L SECTION 9 of the TEXAS CONSTITUTION
PROVIDES, in relevant part, that "The people SHALL BE SECURE IN THEIR persons, HOUSES,.
papers in possession, FROM ALL UNREASONABLE SEARCHES OR SEIZURES ...... TEXAS CONSTITUTION
ART. I, § 9. Unlike the -FOURTH AMENDMENT, ART. I, _i     ~contains    NO EXCLUSIONARY RULE,
and thus, TEXAS ADOPTED A STATUTORY EXCLUSIONARY RULE. See; HULIT v STATE, 982 SW 2d
431, 439 (Tex Crim App 1998), citing WELCHEK v STATE, 247 SW 2d 524, 529 (Tex Crim App
1922). ARTICLE.38.:C3 of the TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE EXCLUDES EVIDENCE "OBTAINED
BY AN OFFICER OR OTHER PERSON IN VIOLATION OF 'ANY . PROVISIONS' OF THE aJNSTITUION OR
                                                                                     )(

LAWS OF THE STATE. OF TEXAS, OR OF THE CONSTITUTION OR LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA." TEX CODE CRIM PROC ART 38.23.
    The TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS has held that the EXCLUSIONARY RULE DID NOT
PRECLUDE ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE FROM A WARRANTLESS SEARCH AND SEIZURE 'THAT WAS PERMISSABLE'
AT THE_ 'TIME OF THE SEIZURE.   'See SWINK v STATE, 617 SW 2d 203, 209-10 (Tex Crim App
1981). Concluding that the warrantless search a~d seizure of the premises by the
officers· in SWINK   ~WAS PERMISSABLE AT THE TIME OF THEIR ACTIONS,      n   the COURT OF CRIMINAL
APPEALS found no error by the trial court in admitting the complained - of evidence.
SWINK, 617 SW 2d at 210, Id ..
    More recently, two Texas Courts of Appeals have had occasion to consider whether
the EXCLUSION OF EVIDENCE was required in circumstances-WHERE OFFICERS BELIEVED THEY
WERE ACTING LAWFULLY AT THE TIME THEY CONDUCTED A SEARCH,       but SUBSEQUENT COURT DECISIONS
FOUND SEARCHES TO.. BE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT.        In TAYLOR v STATE, 410 SW 3d
520 (Tex App- Amarillo 2013, no pet.) the Court Ruled that EVIDENCE IN THE CASE SHOULD
NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE BASED ON THE STATE OF THE LAW AS IT EXISTED
AT THE TIME    the mobile tracking device was installed, BECAUSE THE OFFICERS ACTED IN
REASONABLE RELIANCE ON 'FEDERAL .PRECEDENT' IN THE MAJORITY OF THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURTS

    In ELIAS v STATE, 2012 WL 4392245 at *7 (Tex App - El Paso September 26, 2012, pet

PROTECTED FROM OBSERVATION    by passerby AND BECAUSE THE DEFENDANT HAD NO REASONABLE
EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY    IN THE OOOR OF MARIJUANA COMING FROM HIS BACKYARD.

           The COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS properly applied the correct rule of law in this
     case through the ORIGINAL PER CURIAM OPINION that VACATED AND REMANDED this case to the
     SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS, specifically stating, " ••. A dog sniff at his (RELATOR'S)

          .RELATOR'S CASE comes under the jurisdiction of the KYLLO SUPREME COURT as has been
     conceded by this RELATOR through this entire appeal process. KYLLO was argued/ FEBRUARY
     20, 200L and decided, JUNE 11, 200L the fact that the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
     chooses to ignore the fact that under KYLLO, "A DRUG - DETECTION DoG'S SNIFF OF THE
     FRONT DOOR OF A DEFENDANT'S HOME IS [ IL] LEGAL BECAUSE THERE IS [A] REASONABLE EXPECTATION
     OF PRIVACY .... " (See, .ROMO v STATE, 315 SW 3d 565, 573; RODRIGUEZ v STATE, 106 SW 3d

     The UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCED THE FOLLOUNG RULE:. WHERE, (AS HERE, ROMO,
     RODRIGUEZ, AND RIVAS I & II) THE GOVERNMENT USES A DEVICE THAT IS NOT IN GENERAL PUBLIC
     USE, TO EXPLORE DETAILS OF THE HOME (WHETHER, TRJ:PLEX, DUPLEX, APARTMENT, ETC.) THAT
     WOULD PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN UNKNOWABLE WITHOUT PHYSICAL INTRUSION, THE SURVEILLANCE 'IS

     warrant IS WHOLLY UNCONNECTED to INFORMATION UNCOVERED DURING EARLIER, INVALID SEARCH. n
     See herein at pg. 7, n. 2, Id. The officers obtained a SEARCH WARRANT .AFTER, NOT UNTIL,
     THE DOG - SNIFF, AND "BASED ON A DRUG-SNIFFING DOG'S ALERT TO RIVAS' FRONT DOOR ON THE
     SAME DAY THAT THE WARRANT WAS OBTAINED AND EXCUTED," the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
     AFFIRMED RIVAS, DETERMING MAGISTRATE HAD SUBSTANTIAL BASIS, AS SAID, FOR PROBABLE CAUSE.

      RELATOR PRAYS, after due consideration of the facts throughout this entire appeal
process and documentation submitted throughout said process, the COURT OF CRIMINAL
APPEALS will once again make the RIGHT - RULING to: not only overturn the                 conv~ction

due to the FOURTH AMENDMENT VIOLATION, but to order the exoneration due to unlawful
searchand seizure, thereby no evidence for conviction or revocation of defered
adjudication; order defered adjudication granted for time served on present case; order
of actual innocence due to FOURTH AMENDMENT VIOLATION, thereby no evidence to convict;
JUDICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE KYLLO CASE for ariy DRUG ,. . SNIFFING DOG CASES OF HOMES! AND
HAS NOT HAD A SEARCH WARRANT ISSUANCE TO UTILIZE SAID DOG IN THE SEARCH AS UNLAWFUL
SEARCHES, THEREBY OVERTURNING SAID CASES FOR ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SEIZURE WITHOUT WARRANT
~n    violation of UNITED STATES FOURTH AMENDMENT AND TEXAS ARTICLE I, § 9, of said
CONSTITUTIONS; and utilize TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ART. 38.23 for said violation
of UNITED STATES AND TEXAS CONSTITUTIONS.
       RELATOR FURTHER PRAYS, THE COURT.OF CRIMINAL APPEALS, to consider the DETERENT
EFFECT OF THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE AND THEREBY APPLY KYLLO TO DRUG - SNIFFING DOG SEARCH
AND    ~EIZURES    WITHOUT PRIOR   ~EARCH   WARRANT AS UNREASONABLE TO DETER ALL PRIOR AND AtL .

AND IGNORE STATE AND. FEDERAL PRECEDENT.: as        present~d   in the attached AFFIDAVIT brought
before the TEXAS STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE for consideration as presented.
       IN FINALITY, the COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS should further consider that the warrant
as issued in this case, beyond the jurisdiction of the MUNICIPLE COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE,
was in violation of TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ART. § 4.14, unlawfully issued,.
executed arid of no force or effect as was briefed

    AFFIANT asserts the TARRANT COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO.
4, and THE SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS (HEREIN, JUDICIAL SYSTEM), as the record
indicates, are intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly undermining the STATE AND

a manner that involves SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF AFFIANT'S LIBERTY. This collation of
circumstances inferred from the concert actions among the al1eged participants listed
above (JUDICIAL SYSTEM) is sufficient       circuinstanti~l   evidence, under FEDERAL LAW, to
prove an existance of the conspiracy to deny this AFFIANT'S LIBERTY (See, 18 USCA § 371;

        Under TEXAS LAW, TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ARTICLE §4.14, JURISDICTION OF
MUNICIPAL COURT, the MUNICIPAL COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE'S authority extends only to the
relatively straightforward. task of issuing arrest warrants for breach of municipal
ordinances. To issue SEARCH WARRANTS, an individual must be capable of making the
PROBABLE CAUSE JUDGEMENTS INVOLVED. As JUSTICE STEVENS put in writing for the Court in
U~S·~       v ROSS, 465 US 798, 823, n. 32, 72 L Ed 2d 572, 102 S Ct 2157; citing SHADWICK v

        JUSTICE STEVENS continues, I would apply the EXCLUSIONARY RULE when it is plainly
evident that a MAGISTRATE or JUDGE HAD NO BUSINESS ISSUING A WARRANT. See, AGUILAR v

the MATERIAL PRESENTED to the MAGISTRATE              OR JUDGE   "IS FALSE OR MISLEADING," FRANKS v

OURSBOURN v STATE, 228 SW 3d 65, 70 (Tex App- Houston [lstDist] 2009, no pet)(finding
egregious harm on remand because STATE was relieved of burden of establishing
voluntariness of statement). The TRIAL COURT JUDGE was aware of the effect.of an
unlawful/illegal seizure and aware that any evidence obtained as a result of an
unl~wful/illegal    seizure could not be considered for any purpose. Evidence TAINTED BY
UNLAWFUL POLICE ACTION is TRADITIONALLY BARRED AS FRUITS OF THE POISONOUS TREE. See,
SEGURA v UNITED STATES, 368 US 796, 804 (1984); WONG SUN v UNITED.STATES, 371 US 471
 (1963). Assuming the arrest was illegal, there is a CLEAR AND CASUAL CONNECTION            BETWEEN
THE ARREST ,!AND THE ARREST AND DISCOVERY OF THE CHARGE. The STATE has failed to allege
 that ffiHE DISCOVERY OF THE DRUGS WAS SUFFICIENTLY ATTENUATED FROM THE ALLEGED ILLEGAL

AFFIANT'S CASES.
     In THE KYLLO COURT THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT SAID, ."We have said that the
 FOURTH AMENDMENT draws 'A FIRM LINE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOUSE, ' PAYTON, 445 US, at
 590. That line, we think, MUST BE:NOT:ONLY FIRM BUT ALSO BRIGHT- which requires clear
 specification":of those methods of surveillance that require a. warrant. While it is
 certainly possible to conclude from the videotape of the thermal imaging that occurred
 in this case (KYLLO) that no 'significant' compromise of the homeowner's privacy has
occurred, WE MUST TAKE THE LONG VIEW, FROM THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE FOuRTH AMENDMENT
 FORWARD. 'The FOURTH AMENDMENT is to be CONSTRUED IN THE LIGHT OF. WHAT WAS DEEMED AN
UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEizuRE WHEN IT WAS ADOPTED, and in a manner which will conserve
 public interests as well as the interests and rights of individual citizens.' CARROLL

    US 338, 348, 94 S Ct 613, 38 L Ed2d 561 (1974). The EXCLUSIONARY RULE'S sole purpose

        AFFIANT also concedes the TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS has HELD THAT THE
    EXCLUSIONARY RULE did'not PRECLUDE ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE from a WARRANTLESS SEARCH AND
    SEIZURE THAT WAS PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME OF lHE SEIZURE. SWINK v STATE, 617 SW 2d 203,
    209~10   (Tex Crim App 1981).
        In KYLLO, supra, at 40, the COURT HELD; "We have said that the FOURTH AMENDMENT
    DRAWS 'a firm line AT THE ENTRANCE '10 THE HOUSE,' PAYTON, 445 US, at 590. THAT LINE,
    WE THINK, MUST BE NOT ONLY FIRM BUT ALSO BRIGHT - which REQUIRE CLEAR SPECIFICATION OF
    THOSE METHODS OF SURVEILLANCE THAT REQUIRE A WARRANT. While it is certainly possible to
    conclude from the videotape of the thermal imaging that occurred in this case that NO
    'SIGNIFICANT' COMPROMISE OF THE HOMEOWNER'S PRIVACY HAS OCCURRED, WE MUST TAKE THE LONG
    VIEW i FROM THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT FORWARD. Id.
        " 'The. FOURTH AMENDMENT IS TO BE CONSTRUED IN THE. LIGHT OF WHAT WAS DEEMED. AN
    UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE WHEN IT WAS ADOPTED, AND IN A· MANNER WHICH WILL-CONSERVE
    PUBLIC INTERESTS AS WELL AS THE INTERESTS AND RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS .• ' " CARROLL
    v UNITED STATES, 267   us   132, 149 (1925).Id.
        "Where, as here (AFFIANT'S CASE ALSO), the Government uses a device that is not in
    general public use, TO EXPLORE DETAIL OF THE HOME that WOULD PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN .
    UNKNOWABLE WITHOUT PHYSICAL INTRUSION, THE SURVEILLANCE IS A 'SEARCH' AND IS PRESUMPTIVELY
    UNREASONABLE. WITHOUT A WARRANT. Id.

 "That does not mean the device is off limits, •.. ; it just means policeofficers cannot

     AFFIANT contends the aforementioned factual· LAW with THE RECOBD establishes the
 collation of Circumstances inferred from the concert actions among the alleged
 PARTICIPANTS, listed above as, "JUDICIAL SYSTEM too include ATTORNEY OF RECORD, JIM
 SHAW." With said facts, and/or circumstantial evidence to follow, is sufficient to
 prove an existance of a "CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL AND IGNORE STATE AND FEDERAL PRECEDENT
 TO UNLAWFULLY CONVICT AND CONFINE AFFIANT." Although, under FEDERAL LAW, circumstantial
 evidence is sufficient to prove an existance of A CONSPIRACY To DENY AFFIANT'S LIBERTY
 (See, 18 USCA § 371; also, US v THON, 917 F 2d 170, Id.).
     AFFIANT deposes:
     AFFIANT asserts, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM too include ATTORNEY OF RECORD JIM SHAW, has
 had this intentional, known, and reckless' ignorance for the FEDERAL PRECEDENT of the
 KYLLO v US, supra, Id., DELIVERED and ESTABLISHED JUNE 11, 2001, and TEXAS STATE
 PRECEDENT of TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, ARTICLE § 4.14, JURISDICTION OF MUNICIPAL
 COURT, being ignored in a manner that involves SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF AFFIANT'S LIBERTY.
     The facts in STATE v DAUGHERTY, 931 SW 2d 268, 283 established (Tex Crim App 1996)
 the TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS acknowledges; "The SUPREME COURT has held evidence
 found pursuant to an execution of A VALID SEARCH WARRANT IS ADMISSABLE PROVIDED THE


                                               9
INFORMATION USED TO OBTAIN THE WARRANT 'WHOLLY UNCONNECTED TO INFORMATION UNCOVERED
DURING AN ·EARLIER, INVALID SEARCH. ' "
    The facts in AFFIANT'S SEARCH WARRANT establish, "The canine ALERTED to the presence
of narcotic odors from the residence, AND INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE AFFIDAVIT
OFFICER'S USED TO OBTAIN A SEARCH WARRANT FOR AFFIANT'S APARTMENT. "
    The facts of both, the KYLLO CASE established since JUNE 11, 2001, and AFFIANT'S
PRESENT CASE was decided under PRIVACY RIGHTS, with AFFIANT'S CASE BEING VACATED AND
REMANDED.
    The facts of the TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS on OCTOBER 23, 2013 IN AFFIANT'S
PRESENT CASE ESTABLISHED, "A OOG SNIFF LED TO THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM."
    The facts in AFFIANT'S PRESENT CASE and FEDERAL CASE LAW SINCE 1978 ESTABLISH the
good faith exception does not apply as THE MATERIAL PRESENTED IN OFFICERS AFFIDAVIT to
the MUNICIPAL COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE could be conscrued as .MISLEADING and possibly, as
such, FALSE.
    The facts of TEXAS LAW particularly, TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL APPEALS ARTICLE § 4.14i
JURISDICTION OF MUNICIPAL COURT, and FEDERAL CASE LAW, at mihimum since 1972, ESTABLISHES,
"The PRO-TEM JUDGE of. the MUNICIPAL COURT OF FORT·WORTH, TEXAS has authority that
'ExTENDs ONLY' to the RELATIVELY STRAIGHT FORWARD TASK OF ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR
BREACH OF MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES. " THEREBY, AFFIANT'S WARRANT FOR SEARCH AND ARREST WAS
TO BE CONSIDERED OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT AS ISSUED, UNLAWFULLY CONVICTING AND CONFINING
AFFIANT ThlROUGH SAID SEARCH AND ARREST.
    The facts of TEXAS LAW, supra, and. FEDERAL CASE LAW SINCE 1933 ESTABLISHES, the
MUNICIPAL COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE of' FORT WORTH, TEXAS had NO BUSINESS ISsuiNG THE SEARCH
AND ARREST WARRANT.
    The facts BRIEFED BY AFFIANT HEREIN, THE ATTACHED MANDAMUS, .AND RECORDS OF BRIEFINGS
THROUGH THIS ENTIRE APPEAL PROCESS ESTABLISH THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, as referenced herein,
too include ATTORNEY OF RECORD JIM SHAW, HAS CHOSE TO,   NOT ONLY   ABUSE THEIR DISCRETION
BUT HAVE DECIDED THROUGH THEIR ACTION TO ENTER INTO A "CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL AND IGNORE
STATE AND FEDERAL PJlliCEDENT TO UNLAWFULLY CONVICT AND CONFINE AFFIANT."
    AFFIANT is reminded of a case very similar to this PRESENT CASE in which an
ATTORNEY OF RECORD, much like JIM SHAW, called a witness, much like OFFICER J.C.
WILLIAMS, and through questioning established the OFFICER had IGNORED PROPER PROCEDURE,
FAILED TO DO-A· PROPER INVESTIGATION OF CORROBORATING FACTS AS TO THE ACCUSED, FAILED
TO OBTAIN A SEARCH WARRANT TO USE A TOOL NOT IN GENERAL PUBLIC USE, SUCH AS KELEV THE
DRUG DETECTION DOG, EVEN WENT TO A COURT, MUCH LIKE THE MUNICIPAL COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE
OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS, WHO LACKED JURISDICTION UNDER TEXAS LAW TO ISSUE SAID SEARCH
WARRANT, however, ATTORNEY FAILED TO ESTABLISH ANY RULING OR MAKE ANY OBJECTIONS TO
PRESERVE THESE ERRORS, NOR WERE THEY ADDRESSED IN THE APPEAL PROCESS, MUCH LIKE ATTORNEY

                                           10
..   '




         .OF RECORD JIM SHAW.
             HOWEVER, THE TRIAL JUDGE, MUCH LIKE JUDGE MIKE THOMAS, during questioning of the
         witness, raises his hand with all questioning coming to a stop, and he says to the
         PROSECUTING ATTORNEY AND ASSISTANT, MUCH LIKE SARAH E. BRUNER WITH ASSISTANT BROOKE
         PANUTHOS, "THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THESE GOYS,u pointing to OFFICER on witness
         stand, "ARE IN SUCH A HURRY TO GET THIS GOY," pointing to DEFENDANT, "THAT THE PROPER
         PROCEDURES ARE NOT BEING FOLJ:.OoJED. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE NEEDING TO DEAL WITH. DO YOU SEE
         THAT ?" Then the PROSECUTOR, IN FEAR THE JUDGE WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND EXCLUDE
         THE EVIDENCE, THEREBY DISMISS THE CASE CAN ONLY REPLY, "YES YOUR HONOR, YES YOUR HONOR,
         YES YOUR HONOR," all the while JUDGE FULLY AWARE HE HAD A DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO DO
         JUST THAT, DISMISS THE CASE, CHOSE TO ABUSE HIS DISCRETION, IGNORING THE FACTS OF BOTH
         A FOURTH AMENDMENT VIOLATION, AND TEXAS LAW VIOLATION, TO THEN GESTURE WITH HIS HAND
         FOR THE QUESTIONING TO CONTINUE. However, upon DEFENDANT receiving the TRANSCRIPTS
         THIS PORTION HAD BEEN ENTIRELY OMITTED. ·
             When the EXCLUSIONARY RULE'S SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DETER FUTURE FOURTH AMENDMENT
         VIOLATIONS, Id., citing UNITED STATES v LEON, 468 US 897,.909 n.2, 104 S Ct 3405, 82 L
         Ed 2d 677 (1984), and when APPLICABILITY OF THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE is limited to
         SITUATIONS IN WHICH DETERRENCE IS "THOUGHT MOST EFFICACIOUSLY SERVED," DAVIS, 131 S Ct
         at 2426, citing CALANDRA, 414 US at 348, with the SUPREME COURT declaring that "[w]hen
         the police exhibit 'deliberate,' 'reckless,' or 'grossly negligent' DISREGARD FOR
         _FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS, THE DETERRENT VALUE OF EXCLUSION IS STRONG AND TENDS TO
         OUTWEIGH THE RESULTING COSTS.   II   DAVIS I supra I 'at 2427 I Id: ~-.
             It   is'very clear from the KYLLOCASE, supra, that established since JUNE 11, 2001,
         that the WARRANTLESS SEARCH WITH KELEV THE DRUG DETECTION DOG WAS NOT PERMISSABLE AT
         THE TIME OF SAID SEARCH, NOR HAS IT BEEN SINCE JUNE 11,· 2001, thereby A FOcliTH AMENDMENT
         VIOLATION OCURRED.
             The "MOST EFFICACIOUSLY SERVED" DETERRENT IS TO NOT ONLY OVERTURN THE AFFIANT'S
         PRESENT CASE FOR A DELIBERATE, RECKLESS, AND GROSSLY NEGLIGENT DISREGARD FOR FOURTH
         AMENDMENT RIGHTS VIOLATION, BUT TO OVERTURN ALL VIOLATIONS WHERE A DRUG DETECTION DOG
         HAS BEEN USED IN THE SAME MANNER WITHOUT FIRST PROCURING A SEARCH WARRANT AS ESTABLISHED
         JUNE 11,_ 2001, in KYLLO v US, supra, Id. Thereby ceasing the lower COURT OF APPEALS
         UNCONSTITUTIONAL RULINGS WITH AFFIRMATIONS OF CONVICTIONS THROUGH SAID ILLEGAL /
         UNLAWFUL SEARCH AND SEIZURES ESTABLISHED UNDER FEDERAL PRECEDENT OF KYLLO.
             AFFIANT is as well covered under TEXAS CODE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ARTICLE § 38.23,
         where the SECOND DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS HAS REAFFIRMED THE PRESENT CASE AS THE
         SEARCH WARRANT AND AFFIDAVIT SIGNED BY THE MUNICIPAL COURT PRO-TEM JUDGE'OF FORT WORTH,
         TEXAS lacked JURISDICTION TO ISSUE, and as issued of NO FORCE OR EFFECT.



                                                            ll                              z1

      AFFIANT has established a clear LIBERTY INTEREST ISSUE wherein there exist the
established fact that the herein NAMED JUDICIAL SYSTEM too include ATTORNEY OF RECORD
JIM SHAW, have whether by calculated intent and design, or by their combined error,
incompetance, apathy and ignorance, have collectively-, whether either through their
acts of commission and/or omission, have entered into "A CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL AND
