Otherwise it's a constitutionally impermissible search.
I"ve done more than my fair share of address lookups for cop friends over the years since my job didn't come into conflict with the 4th.
Thank you for admitting your assistance to police officers, enabling them to skirt around constitutional protections.
“The police go with the addresses they have. The second they go to the internet to either verify or obtain an address they need at least an administrative level warrant.”
And why shouldn’t they have to get a warrant? This moron wasn’t chasing an armed robber, rapist or murderer, it was over a stolen fracking ladder. That’s not even grand theft.
This thread has taken an interesting turn.
Want to shoot a dog at the wrong house but don’t have a warrant?
No problem! Ask a friendly postal service worker to skirt around the Constitution for you. He’ll even justify it!
No wonder the problem is so rampant; we have government employees even on Free Republic who admit to aiding and abetting such unconstitutional behavior without shame.
Makes no sense. If a cop can see evidence of an illegal act through an open windows. in a car or a residence, they can take action. There were several busts years ago when baggies were left out in the open.
I understand that cops and the CIA (j/k) use lots of service/delivery/repair/post men to gather information.
Just don't understand what is different from a drivers license search or a phone number search to looking up an address in MLS, the tax rolls or any other source of Google info.
Of course, if the O’bots love Google and let them search our private info, there may be something to this ...
Where did you ever get such an insane idea? I don't know who is dumber. You for posting this nonsense, or the dog worshiping Altariel who apparently believes it.
