Does he think he stole it to go duck hunting?
Cops always act like it is a such a hassle to get a search warrant . I know many judges and none of them have ever refused a search warrant request . In this age of communication it takes minutes and an ounce of judgment .
No offense meant to the Hells Angels MC, and/or any member past and/or present.
“They’re in your hometown; they’re outside your door; they’re going to eat you up.”
...the group also took away a Mossberg shotgun a store owner had trained on them.
Using a store videotape, Oakland investigators soon identified Your Black Muslim Bakery members as responsible for the vandalisms and robbery.
But they decided not to seek a warrant to search the bakery's San Pablo Avenue headquarters for the gun.
"Looking at the totality of circumstances, I don't think we felt at the time that a vandalism and a weak stolen-gun case was enough to go smashing in the door."
Political correctness at it best. It was vandalism AND robbery, robbery of a Shotgun!
What's weak about a stolen-gun case when it was on video and the owner said "They took the gun?"
And why smash down the door of a business that is open every day?
Stupid excuses. If it was the White Muslin Textile Factory they would have gone in (broken down the door even if unlocked), shot a dog or two and gotten the shotgun.
LIberals who didn’t want to find this particular firearm that they new was stolen and new it might be used in a crime, want to eliminate all firearms that might be then used in a crime.
WTF???
