I wonder how 'messy' the yard was. Did her neighbors complain? Was there a health issue?

I'd like to know why there was a warrant. We’re losing our property rights very quickly in this country.

I’d resist too if I thought they were entering my home illegally. Cops are not always right. After all, they work for the government.

Well, offhand I'd say that there was a warrant because we have property rights in this country. Police aren't allowed to enter private property without a warrant -- the old 4th Amendment thing, you know.
