'Unpaid Student Loan' Raid Claim Refuted as Feds Target California Couple in Fraud Probe
Fox News ^ | 6-9-11 | Fox News

Posted on 06/10/2011 7:51:40 AM PDT by freedomwarrior998

A California man who initially claimed to a local television station that he was roughed up by "SWAT team" members who allegedly battered down his front door to execute a search warrant related to his estranged wife's unpaid student loans was targeted due to an ongoing probe into alleged financial aid fraud.

Local law enforcement officials have thus far not commented on the Stockton man's claim to ABC News 10/KXTV that he was grabbed by the neck and placed in handcuffs in back of a patrol car for six hours as his three children looked on during execution of the search warrant on Tuesday.

Dude. Your projection is showing. We already know who you are. Hit the abuse on this one.

Projection? You can’t even answer where you stand on abortion, drug use, same-sex ‘marriage’, pornography, adultery, and fornication.

Now you want to desperately try to silence me because I dare to disagree with you on toeing the cop-hating line?

You demonstrate your utter lack of capacity for rational thought with your response and actions.

Did you even read what I posted? I said Waco was botched. Do you know what that word means? I can’t even follow what you are rambling about now because it is so incoherent.

You seem to be mixing up multiple events. If you want to try to clarify what you are posting about, perhaps you could then get a clear response.

And just exactly WHY are Department of Education warrant officers armed...when they can be backed up by a local deputy?

Stimulus money doesn't just spend itself.You've got to get creative!

Levin then raised a bigger question: How many departments in the Fed Gov’t have law-enforcement arms? He said regardless of what the facts are in this specific case, he planned to look into the larger question.

It looks like some of this is explained here, excerpt:

Offices of Inspector General have primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of waste and abuse, and concurrent responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and other criminal activity within their agencies and their agencies' programs. The Inspector General Act of 1978,5 U.S.C. app. 3, established criminal investigative jurisdiction for the offices of presidentially appointed Inspectors General. However, prior to enactment of section 812 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. No. 107-296), the Inspector General Act did not provide firearms, arrest, or search warrant authorities for investigators of those offices.(1) The Inspectors General of the various executive agencies relied on Memoranda of Understanding with the Department of Justice that provided temporary grants of law enforcement powers through deputations. As the volume of investigations warranting such police powers increased, deputations were authorized on a "blanket" or office-wide basis.
(1) - Certain offices of Inspector General had (prior to 2002) and continue to have OIG-specific grants of statutory authority under which they exercise law enforcement powers.

So it looks like the establishment of these OIGs dates back to 1978, and have apparently been "strengthened" by the "Homeland Security Act." So much of this authoritarian usurpation of power was started decades ago, we are now beginning to see it being unleashed in more oppressive (and unConstitutional) ways.

(I'd appreciate a ping if you ever hear/see what Mark finds out. I try to catch his show as often as possible, but can't always.)

So no real effective attempt was made to alert Jose's household that the police were there. What you wrote, and what the helmet cam show is "procedural" box check offs. An police siren that sounds and lasts as long (that is, only a few seconds) as the common occurrence of a car alarm mistakenly going off.

A light knock at the door. No bullhorn, presumably no loud voice, no patience.

I hope our marvelous "conservative" Supreme Court justices are paying attention. The Fourth Amendment has to mean more than what they have whittled it down to.

“I just can’t stand seeing conservatives used as pawns by communists, socialists, liberaltarians and the media, who are committed to destroying the moral fabric of our society, and seeing law and order break down on a whole-scale level.”

Really?

So, was shooting down Eric Scott ok?

How about Mrs Weaver holding a baby, was that “botched”?

With the banks and others of the political elite getting away with multiple frauds, ...with the banks foreclosing on homeowners WITH FRUADULENT papers with rubber stamping judges,...
with mobs assaulting and killing people this last holiday weekend,... with the US dollar losing value and our institutions are bankrupt, they just aren’t letting the little people know, yet...
and the reality that the President himself doesn’t have to answer basic questions of his qualifications to BE president...

you expect people just to support the police state with no questions?

What a shill.

The rot is at the top, and the rest of us are noticing.

Not to a troll like you. You are on the wrong side of the badge. I know you type. I would not want to share a foxhole with you. You endanger everyone and are the first to scream for their mom. We all know who you are.

Do you know what the standard for probable cause is? Where did you go to law school? What state are you licensed to practice law? Who elected or appointed you to make determinations about probable cause?

Ah yes, the old argument from authority. The warrant should list a reason why they think he is engaged in criminal activity. It does not. Period. It states he was arrested in 2009 but notes he has no convictions. It states he was in a truck that had saran wrap in it. You call that probable cause? Noone with a brain would.

That is not the warrant, no date or signatures.

That's not the warrant for this case. That's an affidavit for a warrant in a drug case involving the search of multiple residences.

Have you read the libertarian party platform?

You are apparently mistakenly conflating the "Libertarian Party" and its platform with the philosophies of libertarians and/or libertines.

I will admit, however, that if you were to conscientiously refrain from mixing up those terms, your posts would be a lot less entertaining...

Looks like SWAT, acts like SWAT.

Exactly...

Storm troopers kicking in people doors from a Federal agency that shouldn't exist in the first place...

I don't care if they call themselves the Bugs Bunny Patrol.

You just make a blanket assumption based on your own preconceived notions of what should be happening in the world, all without having all the facts.

Ironic considering that is what you led in with on this thread...

Don't forget these guys. I saw some cop cars driving around MD with this logo. I'd never heard of it before. It's difficult to believe that we don't already have enough police agencies.

"The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is the federal police force of the Secretary of Homeland Security. As a component of U.S. Department of Homeland Security, National Protection and Programs Directorate within DHS Headquarters, FPS is responsible for law enforcement and security of nearly 9,000 federally owned and leased buildings, courthouses, "
