The judge, and the LEO/s responsible for this bogus warrant should be held liable.
With today’s quick on the trigger cops eager to bust a door down, judges should be required to verify minimal information regarding the home and family at risk. In this case, a reasonable judge might have asked: Who is this guy? Are there children at risk? What does this guy do professionally? Does he have priors?
Well your honor, he is a computer analyst with no priors. And yes , he has a wife and child in the home.
NO KNOCK DENIED
Why do you suspect he has the weapons? A CI told us. What is the relationship between the CI and this computer analyst with a wife and child? We don’t know.
Warrant denied.
Unfortunately, I’m beginning to view defending cops as a serious flaw in character or judgment.
How many times does a Ford, Chevy, or Chrysler have to let you down before you start to figure out those idiots buying the rice burners aren’t really the stupid ones.
Forget that. Warrants are a F*ing joke. The reality is that judges will sign anything. Half the time they're drunk, or in bed with their mistress from the Bailiff's office. All they want is to get you out of the way with no pictures.
