(3/12/04 - HOUSTON) — Houston police are looking for three young men who forced their way into a home and robbed a northwest Houston couple.
The homeowners tell police the three suspects were dressed as police officers when they pushed their way into their home on Mayfield near Vogel around 2:00am Monday.
That's when the suspects tied up the husband and wife, their 19-year-old son and his friend, then stole 10 guns from a gun collection. Before leaving, they beat up the 19-year-old.
Police say he took himself to the hospital for minor injuries.

Good point. Its possible it could help add up to reasonable doubt.
Of course the particular defendant would have to demonstrate he or she was aware of the fake-cop stories before the incident they are on trial for. Probably would have to take the stand.
In Kalifornicate -- they report a milk carton sized container of BBs, as THOUSANDS of rounds of ammunition...
Any shooter, that reloads their own -- and has a moderate stock of all calibers on hand -- would make the evening news as a potential terrorist or militia ammo dump.
