“Buckhalt obtained a search warrant on false and misleading statements
and evidence,” the complaint states.
Looks like the Warrant was issued because they refused to allow a blanket
search, on the premise they were guilty of something or they would allow the
invasion of their home because they bought legal Drugs.
The next step would be the violation of Civil rights and suing the hell out of them. “
The judge is now denouncing the warrant, but how much effort did he really take to make the cop convince him of the need, and how much is he now back peddling after being a rubber stamp who didn’t bother with doing his job?
Only a civil suit will bring out the truth and we could predict with certainty
that no information will be released to the public. The reason would be in
the interest of (cough) public trust.
They talked to the police, if they had not, all this mess might not have happened.
All they had to do was hand the officer the receipt. BUT!
There is also something that bothers me about this case, that is if the
lady was pharmacy shopping for pseudoephedrine products. If anybody buys to
many they could be arrested and investigated. The limit is
TITLE VII--COMBAT METHAMPHETAMINE EPIDEMIC ACT OF 2005
""monthly sales to no more than 9.0 grams per purchaser""
The Sudo she was buying contains 3.6 GRAMS per box, so if she bought more than
two boxes in 30-days then the local police would be notified, but ultimately
the DEA would bring the drug charges. The police were there fast which also brings up
the question of how many they purchased and if they were actually being investigated.
