“The police didn’t know at the time they were acting on a bogus tip”
The police didn’t know the call was not from Texas ?
The police didn’t recieve the initial call, a domestic abuse hotline did. They relayed the notes they took to the police. The police felt they had to act, and by any ‘reasonable’ standard under current law they were right.
So the intial warrant meets the standard. The second one may not. And I stress MAY, because I haven’t seen what the investigators saw. But what the press was told by the ‘authorities’ and what is being introduced in court seem to be worlds apart.
