You would think they would want to avoid the inevitable law suits by doing the most basic police footwork that even a grade schooler could manage with an iPad.
Why would they want to avoid the lawsuits? When is the last time police officers were *personally* sued after conducting one of these raids?
If the *department* is sued, it’s the *taxpayers* who pay. Every time one of these raids are conducted, you and I, and the other Freepers, pay the bill.
