Quote from pspr:
It wasn't even the cops who broke into this guy's house. It was the DEPARTMENT of EDUCATION!!! The story I read said they issued their own search warrant without a judge's approval. They requested one police car and officer so there would be a police presence at the scene.
Since when is that even legal?
It isn't. The "Officer" who agreed to accompany these turdheads to pull a stunt like this is now on the hook imo for being an accomplice to a vicarious liability case involving civil rights violation(s). If this were in my State, I would open the Criminal Code and look for language where I can charge with the following State crimes:
Breaking and entering- Felony (false warrant, and entering the home)
Unlawful imprisonment- Felony
Battery- Misdemeanor
Obstructing of justice- Misdemeanor
1st degree fraud- Felony (obtaining a false search warrant under false pretenses)
In addition, the FBI could become involved as a possible civil rights violation occured which is a federal felony. Any of you who were former law students, police officers, etc., KNOW that to enter a person't home, the evidence needed to get into the home has to be VERY strong as you can't just drive off in your house, so there is reasonable ground to believe that the person and evidence (depending on the type of evidence), will be there vs. a person driving a car, and has MUCH less search and seizure protection. This is a case imo where the 4th ammendment was apparently violated, and is aggregious enough to warrant a federal AND state investigation.
The dumb shits who did this are toast if a complains is filed! And how damned stupid is the Officer who escorted these idiots? I would have read their warrant, and since the language of that warrant would be so out of the ordinary for what most Officers KNOW is kosher within a warrant and what is not, I would have called the "Judge's" assistant who and asked about the validity of the warrant. After I found out the warrant was false, I would have started getting out handcuffs for the idiots who would falsify this, and at least take them down for obstruction first, and indict them later after I finished investigating the case + talking tothe prosecuting attorney about what he/she wants them charged with as far as felonies.
