Authorities Searched Damond's Home; Law Prof Believes That Could 'Cause An International Incident'
KSTP.com ^ | 7/25/17 | Josh Rosenthal

Posted on 07/25/2017 6:46:39 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

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.

This really is illiberal. In an attempt not to be “unfair” to a jihad minded Somali, everything else is turned upside down.

I could take an “oops! our screening system failed, and we are fixing it yesterday.” And so could Australia, I believe. I can’t take El Grande Cover Up.

How the hell was she an individual involved in the incident? She was the victim of the incident perpetrated by the cops.

Yep.

I wonder what they would have done if they had found any sort of perception medication in the house.

Or if they enjoyed a glass of wine at night?

But did they delete/erase any video evidence, if any existed?

But I almost wish they had carted everything out as evidence. It would show how simon pure she was.

That looks like a generic laundry list for any incident or crime. MN must be very lax when it comes to getting warrants approved.

I thought warrants were to be for very specific items and the connection with a suspected crime must be shown. Perhaps that’s the way it is in most states.

What in the heck is going on here?

What was going on in the alley and who was involved?

Why was the bicyclist afraid to come forward?

I have other questions, too.

One thing continues to bother me.

Se made two calls to 911. I’m not certain if she got the same 911 operator both times, or not.

I have read the transcripts of both 911 calls. At no time, did the 911 operator(s) instruct her to stay in her house, lock the doors and wait for the police to contact her.

I thought that was SOP for 911 operators.

Why isn’t the 911 call center being investigated?

I’d be surprised if the lady videoed the fatal meeting. What else could be erased?

What is the matter with the people in Minneapolis???

Have you met any? They think they are smart but actually pretty moronic.

America has rotted in a way that only a post-Christian country can.

Will it ALWAYS be post-Christian? I have the strongest sense it won’t. That God’s last hurrah has yet to be seen, even here.

the tox test must have come back clean

she was a “health nut” type...in a good way...

she would have been careful what she put in her body..

and since she seems to have been a calm happy person she may have not had problems sleeping

and probably had an early bedtime etc

she was in her pajamas remember...as the media delight in telling us...

...hoped that ***SOMETHING*** criminal or at least embarrassing would turn up in that house...
-------------------------
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."

Exactly!! And I find the "loud noise" story that morphed into "she slapped the car" highly suspect as well...sounds like an "excuse" was being developed from the driver officer/partner initial statement/cover story that was intended to try & protect his partner w/o sticking his neck out too far.

Yeah... now that I remember it, she’d be far more likely the kind to drink chamomile tea than pop Ambien.
