Of course not. I'm just saying that your suggestion that Dirty Harry movies illustrate how bad the exclusionary rule is does little to tell me about the actual state of affairs with the exclusionary rule and more to tell me that you get your info on law enforcement from bad cop movies.

The point of the CLE wasn't to ask Hollywood to change. It was to illustrate that we as lawyers have a huge task of educating our clients on what is and is ethical since our clients are likely to have very bad information on legal ethics because of what they see in the movies.
