Y’all are off the rails on this.
I don’t think so.
Why are you baiting us? Are you bored? Sick? America’s slide into a police state is accelerating. We all see it. Whether you do or not makes no difference.
Exigent circumstances, my ass. Constitutional? My ass.
No search warrant means no uncontested entry to my house, ever.
Really? Just because we see the US Constitution as the law of the land and our Rights given to us by God as not being subjected to interpretation? Now the State can drag you and your family out of your home at gunpoint with no direct probable cause because there may be a terrorist in the area.
What is contained in the video is TYRANNY, plain and simple. That is what it looks like. What our Founding Fathers warned us about and put into place protections against.
Unfortunately, I think we are going to lose all our rights and freedoms in this country. Not as a result of a losing conflict, but by the majority being boot lickers seeking safety.
No, you are.
Hot pursuit is one thing. As is a tip, sighting, 911 call, etc.
But random searches of the kind described here are off the wall.
Actually the cops were more like keystone cops in this case.
First, they only got into the fire fight because the bad guys car jacked and let the car owner go. The cops were not even close to finding them.
Second, the guy in the boat was not found by the cops, but called by the owner of the boat.
Third and very important, the sorriest blood hound or tracking dog could have tracked a blood trail and found the guy.
To a tracking dog, a blood trail is like the painted white line down the middle of the road.
This whole event was one of the most mismanaged crime scenes of all time.
I am not disparaging the bravery of the individual cop on the beat. They showed guts.
But the management at the upper levels was terrible. There should be people looking for a new job.
