OSHKOSH POLICE CONDUCT DOOR TO DOOR GUN CONFISCATIONS

Wisconsin Gun Owners Inc. ^ | 7-17-04

[Travis McGee]

Yah think cops ever dropped a piece of brass on a "person of interest's" property, and then declared, "Well looky here!"

Nah. I'm sure they would NEVER do anything like that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

b'gosh!!!

[Travis McGee]

The over use of so-called "consent searches" is getting beyond problematic, bordering on becoming a police state tactic.

Sirens through your neighborhood, loudspeaker broadcasts. A squad of black kevlar clad SWAT troops arrive on your doorstep, bang on your door, and request "consent" to search your house. They mention that everyone else on your block has already granted "consent," and hint strongly that if "consent" is not given, they will return with a warrant, and roughly ransack your house.

How many citizens will have the nerve to refuse to grant "consent" under these highly coercive conditions?

[HiTech RedNeck]

They mention that everyone else on your block has already granted "consent,"

Which unless you are literally the last, would have to be a lie, but our fine Courts have declared that this is A-ok for Keystoners.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There ought to be a law.

[Travis McGee]

They also go onto buses and "ask" for "consent" to search bags for drugs.

Heavily armed men in black kevlar body armor "asking" for "consent" from citizens is a police state tactic.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I hate to say it, but when black men think their ox is gored by the man and riot, they get appeased. Joe Redneck who politely protests? He is only laughed at.

[Happy2BMe]

PINGing you to a tyranny thread if you haven't seen it yet.

[Don W]

Pardon me, but I thought it would be relevant for those who are supposed to enforce the law to actually KNOW what the law says.

How silly of me to think those entrusted with a job should actually be COMPETENT.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Not in my neighborhood!

"The message is: Hand over your guns, now!"

"Isn't this a violation of the FOURTH amendment?"

Blatant violation. The citizens should call for the head of the police departments head. Every officer involved should be suspended without pay.

What is even more frightening is:

"Residents were not being allowed to return to their homes by press time."

I would be lining up lawyers for a class action lawsuit.

[Wolfhound777]

"Oshkosh police ask neighbors to scour yards for missing bullet."

Normally, I would be happy to help them but if they broke into my home without a warrant and stole my property, I would have told them to get F%#C@ed.

[PhilDragoo]

As a consequence of a cop shooting the Constitution shall be suspended;

SWAT means never having to say you're sorry;

You're in your residence, obeying the law, watching COPS when--

KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!

Backannawackettarackjack! Do it now!

"Excuse me? How can I help you?"

Wouldn't you like to be a member of LawyersGuns&Money?

For a small monthly donation you can reserve a Huey on standby to be on your lawn in five minutes with three lawyers, two doorgunners, four media cameramen, one foxy anchorbabe, three million in bail, and a million-candle-power spotlight we call Spotlight on the Constitution.

Is it a "reasonable" search? Or is it another bad day for We're-Cops-And-You're-Not?

Don't take a chance: 1-800-L-GUNZN-M

[G Larry]

The follow-up story in these parts would read:
"3 more officers shot attempting forced search at the wrong house."

[NYTexan]

Beware! After the next attack occurs, ( not a matter of what if, but when!) If it's combat related, Marshall WILL be invoked!

Best to prepare in advance.

HIDE YOUR WEAPONS WELL!!!

[NYTexan]

oops..............thats Marshall LAW

[television is just wrong]

Why so we can't protect ourselves from the impending attacks from terrorists?

[Smartass]

DEAR SAY WHERE IS THE INFAMOUS ACLU?

ooooOOOOppPPPSSSss, I forgot, their at the DNC convention!

[Free Trapper]

Reading between the lines,I get the idea that people gave their consent,possibly even their keys,to check their homes for the "suspect" that could have entered after their own Police ordered evacuation.

If these people were home,they'd have known that the Police had taken their arms.

It doesn't sound like consent was given for anything more than a looksee for a dangerous individual and the Police took every advantage of goodhearted,law abiding citizens once they got the chance.

Many people would quickly give consent to a Police walk-through to check for the perp,being fearful of encountering the suspect upon their return.

"If" done "intentionally" as theorized..... :(
