You forgot Conspiracy Against Rights.
US CODE, TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 13, § 241
Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
 
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
 
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Whereas the US Constitution's 4TH Amendment says:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Given that the Warrant was not for their house it was, as far as Legality is concerned, a warrantless-entry.

It's always the dog.......why can't it ever be a cat?............,/p>

If anyone shoots my cat, I will GET THEM, if I have to lie in wait for them near their front door. Of course, I sympathize with dog owners whose pets have been shot. It's just that I'm not a dog person.

One hand washes the other. No one will ever be held responsible. But, our tax dollars will probably have to pay for their mistake.

Good find.

I hope they sue the bastards for a bazillion dollars and win, and drive their stupid city into bankruptcy.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

...and here is a case of a violation of the fourth amendment by local bad cops.

Who is in the right here? The government or the private citizen whose house was unlawfully invaded?

Ever notice that these SWAT invasions never seem to occur at the home of a gang member or member of a crime ring?

Ever notice how gladly the criminal element mimics these unlawful, unconstitutional cop raids?

Agreed. These unlawful, unconstitutional raids seem to have more to do with conditioning the law-abiding private citizen to bleat like good sheep than with real police work.

Yet another tragic accident involving guns and boats.

Boats can’t be trusted around guns.
