Following his arrest on Jan. 26, Ammon Bundy was found with $8,031 in cash in his jacket, a receipt from a Jan. 1 purchase of nearly $200 in ammunition from a BiMart in Idaho and a withdrawl slip in his wallet from a Chase Bank Fred Meyer in Idaho visited the day before, according to a prosecutor.....
During his transport to jail by van following a cursory search of him, Harney County Sheriff's Sgt. Lucas McLain heard Bundy talking on a cell phone.
Lt. Brian Needham flipped on the overhead light in the van, and they could see Bundy balancing a cell phone between his shoulder and ear, McClain testified Tuesday.
They stopped the van at the Bureau of Land Management office west of Burns along Highway 20 and Bundy, along with co-defendant Ryan Payne and Victoria Sharp were removed from the van to be searched.
McClain said he searched the van and found the cell phone into the crook of the seat where Bundy had been seated.....
McClain mentioned on the witness stand that Sharp at some point moved from the back to the front seat.
"She actually urinated in the backseat of the van and was ordered to move," attorney Tiffany Harris pointed out, during her cross-examination. "She had asked several times to relieve herself."
"I did not order her," McClain said, but he acknowledged that Sharp had urinated in the van.
Harris is (Shawna) Cox's standby counsel.....
(Marcus) Mumford, Bundy's lawyer, tried repeatedly to get (Jess) Wenick to discuss how the federal government has authority to own the refuge.....
"What authority does the federal government have to maintain the fence?" Mumford asked.....
"Were you involved in the burns that the Hammonds were prosecuted for?".........
the judge advised Mumford, "Please confine yourself to cross on direct" examination....

Agreed. They were first I believe to do assisted suicide and have healthcare lottery.
She wasn't a hardened criminal. She was on her way to singing the National Anthem at an event about The U.S. Constitution.
I certainly would hope so, I am voting for the guy but how can he do that if all the other elected officials and I mean 95 plus percent of them are corporatists who will drive us deeper into debt as a nation like Ryan and Boehner have.
Peter Hitchens has a blog for the London “Daily Mail” and has he noted while most people voted for Brexit in the UK, the parliament and judiciary are dominated by its opponenents.
Trump faces the same problem. Legislative and judicial branches want an open border.
“”Riiiiiight. She’s going to run through waist deep snow.

Sorry TE but once you take an individual into custody you do not take the cuff’s off until they are back at the station. That usually consists of driving into an enclosed area and the door shutting behind you to secure the area. For a medical emergency one might un-cuff but peeing your pant’s is hardly an emergency. That’s the reason most transports and police vehicles have [plastic covered back seats. I couldn’t count the number of times I had individuals urinate, defecate and vomit in the back of my patrol car’s, it’s that common. They can get cleaned up and fresh clothes once their in holding.
I don't buy all that buy-the-book crap. I've gone on ride-alongs and cops are given plenty of latitude on how to deal with situations.
FYI, at least one female officer was present. This from reading the published police reports.
