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.
Do they think the bicyclist lived in the same apartment?
Interfering with a Law Enforcement Officer in the performance of their duties./sarc
The judicial system that rubber-stamped the search warrant is equally at fault with the law enforcement department that requested it.
Well, her PM sure wasn’t very bien.
and in the TEN DAYS since the Somali moslem murdered Justine in cold blood he hasn’t been arrested or questioned not HIS house searched ...
nor his computers or cell phone which probably hold ISIS and jihadi material searches and EMails...
A certain amount of Freepers are usually ok with Law Enforcement working like this.
The Somali angle might change that...temporarily.
A confidential informant reported she had torn tags off her mattress.
Cops can kill you and then search your home looking for anything that might implicate you in anything that might excuse them shooting you.
Damn.
Good point, a 1983 case. Uphill. They got a warrant, judge found probable cause. Right house. Probably not much property damage.
Saw what you did, there...
You’re right. Damn. That’s what God thinks too....
I BET THEY HAVEN’T SECURED A SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE JIHADI COP’S PROPERTY & POSSESSIONS.
That local politically correct, Muslim enabling government is DISGUSTING.
You put your finger on it. Hoped they'd find a joint or some prescription drug that could be extrapolated to "the victim was high and acting strangely."
The proving of the road precedes the traveling when the time becomes right.
I think Trump’s arrival has presaged a change in the winds. Secular liberalism, at long last, has finally shot all the wad it has.
you don’t get more “involved in an incident” than to be the victim of a cold blooded murder...
actually you don’t die from most “incidents...”
but you do die often from a bullet ...
talk about watering down a murder...
now its just an “incident”
I bet they were making sure that there was no surveillance camera footage of the shooting.
...
The shooting was 450 feet from her house with no clear view.
Just when you think the liberal cannot go any lower.
Total scum.
But still... that’s a toxicology test. But when a wall is Teflon coated, the attempt to throw crap at it to get it stick only ends up with a heap of crap on the floor.
Anti-Muzzie literature was being sought, a Charlie hebdo cartoon perhaps. The sharia police force could claim that she insulted the prophet which prompted the jihadi police action.
