Rules of evidence you would think are fairly clear cut. Not so. Many years ago, I was a cop in the Air Force, and had an arrest I made tossed out of court because I allowed the suspect to remove his jacket before I searched it.
And, there have been cases of 'fruit of the poisoned tree' (evidence gained illegally) being allowed in during the court case.
