EXCLUSIVE: Batmobile raid hearing canceled, San Mateo DA considers dropping case
ABC7 San Francisco ^ | 8/6/22 | Dan Noves

Posted on 08/06/2022 7:28:47 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Holy breaking news, Batman, in the criminal case involving a replica of the Batmobile from that 1960s TV show. The San Mateo County District Attorney has called off the arraignment for the Batmobile builder from Indiana, who's facing two criminal charges in a dispute with a wealthy realtor from Atherton.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe is taking that action, after watching the first two I-Team Batmobile investigations.

In our exclusive interview, Wagstaffe told the I-Team's Dan Noyes he wants to personally review the case, hear once again from both the Batmobile builder and the buyer, and decide if the case should actually be dismissed.

Wagstaffe is canceling the Aug. 19 hearing for Mark Racop, a minister and owner of a garage in Indiana that builds replica Batmobiles.

Wagstaffe saw our I-Team investigations over the past week, questioning why San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos sent four investigators more than 2,200 miles to Logansport, Indiana, to raid Racop's garage.

Dan Noyes: "What role did your office play in the planning or the approval of the raid?"

Steve Wagstaffe:"Zero."

Dan Noyes: "You didn't know that they were going to be sending a team to Indiana?"

Steve Wagstaffe: "No, not at all."

So San Francisco dropped the Batmobile case. Good. Now maybe San Francisco can concentrate on the many General Lee crimes.

The Green Hornet was a complete knock off of Batman ... even the music. The complete episodes are on youtube.

How can a Sheriff’s office in CA, request, obtain and execute a search warrant or take ANYONE into custody in IN or outside of their jurisdiction generally?

Wouldn’t Indiana law enforcement be the ones to take any search or arrest action in Indiana?

This smells to high hell.

It seems like the man in Indiana may have potential legal action options against this Sheriff’s office.

His office now says he can't talk to the I-Team because he's concentrating on giving answers to the Board of Supervisors about the Batmobile raid.

A sentence I never thought I would see outside a comic book.

I believe “Batman” and “The Green Hornet” TV series in the 1960’s had the same producers.

One time on “The Green Hornet” a criminal was watching TV.

Another criminal asked him what he was watching and the first
criminal said, “Batman.”

Someday the mountain might get them, but the law never will.

There was also a crossover episode, with Batman and Robin not knowing that the Green Hornet was really a 100% good guy. They were going to be turned into giant postage stamps or something.

The original script called for Robin to beat Kato (Bruce Lee) in the brawl. Lee said if they try that, he’ll hit Burt Ward (Robin) for real. They rewrote the script to make it a tie,

For my money, the Black Beauty beats the Batmobile for cool superhero car. It had a built in remote controlled drone (sentinel) in 1966. A LOT more passenger space (1966 Imperial). SERIOUS built in machine guns and rocket launchers plus night vision. Oh, and completely bullet proof, whereas a well-lobbed grenade can take out the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder in the Batmobile.

The bit where the car was stored upside, which strains credibility, but is otherwise cool.

Ah the late 1960’s. Good times.

Haven’t heard that one in a long time.
