Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators were granted permission to search Justine Damond's home hours after she was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer, according to court records.
A criminal law expert can't understand why.
"When I read that search warrant, I really cannot find probable cause to search her home," he continued. According to court documents, investigators applied for the warrant on the following grounds: The property or things above-described was used as a means of committing a crime
The possession of the property or things above-described constitutes a crime.
The property or things above-described is in the possession of a person with intent to use such property as a means of committing a crime, or the property or things so intended to be used are in the possession of another to whom they have been delivered for the purpose of concealing them or preventing their being discovered.
The property or things above-described constitutes evidence which tends to show a crime has been committed, or tends to show that a particular person has committed a crime.
Asked if that means the BCA considers Damond to be a suspect, spokesperson Jill Oliveira replied via email:
"No, an individual involved in the incident."
Daly, who said he has served as a visiting professor at the University of Queensland in Damond's native Australia, believes concerned members of the public in both countries will be outraged by the BCA's request to search the home.
"It's going to cause an international incident," he said. "I mean the prime minister of Australia already talked about this case on international television, and I think Australians are going to go berserk if they think the focus is on this woman as a suspect."
According to court documents, investigators did not end up taking any evidence from Damond's home.
Exactly.
Good luck tomorrow! I’ve been there several times and it is very stressful. If the worst happens, you are fortunate that economy is finally and truly booming now.
It is easy to get a warrant depending on how you write the warrant. I want the id of the person that wrote the request for the warrant. He is the bad guy!

#1 There is no situation so bad that cannot be made worse by calling the Cops.

Did that just come out? It took them this long to come up with that?
Thank you for the information.
I did not think that they would find any. My question is, how many did they plant?
Are you insinuating that she was on drugs?
Absolutely! With the blessings of Attorney General Sessions.
From what I can see of this one, it just says we want to search the below address then list everything under the sun. What does ammo or what she wrote have to do with 'slapping' a Police car and getting shot for it?
I'm very pro Police. I was one. My friends still are. But this guy messed up. I've never been around an Officer that was so shaky he shot a woman for slapping his car. Hell. They never cleared leather.
And don't blame the driver. I doubt he knew the guy was drawing down on the lady.
He's going to have a good reason to be jumpy once he gets to prison.

Maybe she wanted to get their attention before they drove away. Or maybe they almost ran her over, and she touched the car trying to get out of the way. Or maybe she lost her balance somewhat and put her hand on the car to keep her balance.
Whatever happened, I can't imagine anyone thinking the appropriate response to a woman "slapping" a car is to shoot her. In terms of the use of force in a situation like this, where someone is simply approaching police officers to talk to them, the situation for the officers is essentially the same as it would be for a civilian.
It is hard to imagine a situation where an appropriate use of deadly force would occur if someone "slapped" your car once.
Why had she been using her fiancee’s surname rather than her own? Why was she in the alley late at night in her pjs? Why did she slam her hand down on the cop car?
If the cops were using seatbelts, the driver would have problems getting to his weapon, whereas the right seat cop could more easily get to his.
No. I was disagreeing with the poster I was responding to that every person on ambien is going to wakeup peacefully. All drugs that create an altered state of mind is going to be somewhat unpredictable. There is no absolute guarantee of a certain reaction.
I don’t believe the cover story, which is the first thing I said.
They were slowly patrolling the area down an alley without headlights being on, so why would the dash cam or body cams have been turned on?
... and Keith Ellison.
Yep. They were looking for pot or untaxed booze or maybe an incandescent bulb. ANYTHING to distract from multiculturalism gone deadly wrong, AGAIN.
Maybe plant a Gadsen flag in her apartment and a Trump hat in her closest.
Here is one legitimate purpose: to search for evidence of any prior contact between Noor and his murder victim or her family. If anything shows that Noor knew the victim, that potentially ups his crime from manslaughter or negligent homicide to at least M2.
I have seen no evidence that this is what the “authorities” had in mind; it’s just theoretically possible. Negative motives (planting evidence, smearing the victim, protecting the police and especially their token Somali, etc.) seem more likely in the real world.
