From post 107 link:
The ongoing search for a perpetrator continues to prove frustrating for residents of the otherwise quiet neighborhood near Smith Elementary School. Residents of the 1700 block of Minnesota Street had mixed things to say about the methods police used in searching homes Sunday morning in the aftermath of the shooting.
Terry Wesner said a couple of shotguns and a rifle were removed from his home by SWAT Team members after he consented to a search, though officers did not tell him they removed the firearms after they completed their search.
Thats what makes me so mad, Wesner said. They had no reason (to remove the firearms) without a warrant. I didnt know they removed anything until my buddy, whos staying with me, noticed they were missing. I thought you had to have a warrant to take someones guns.
Oshkosh Police Capt. Jay Puestohl said officers dont go into houses without consent or a warrant. He acknowledged consent to search does not necessarily mean officers have consent to remove property.
Puestohl also said nothing illegal was done by removing the firearms and that investigators needed to examine them. He declined to say on what grounds officers had the right to remove the firearms, though.
Were getting into a lot of legal details if theres evidence that can be seized. They (the firearms) could be, Puestohl said. As far as I know there was nothing inappropriate or illegal done.
I saw it the first time, but thanks again.
