Probable cause for what?
As outlined in the excellent summary above by af_vet_rr at post 47, I can find no justification for a warrant to be even asked for, let alone granted.
I've read through 2 posts on this subject. Those supporting the unhinged officer were no surprise at all. This particular incident is so clear, that it is an excellent vehicle to identify those who will reflexively support police regardless of the actual circumstances.
No idea what led up to the moment, but if he couldn’t show probable cause and get a warrant then he shouldn’t be asking to begin with.,,guess that is what I was trying to infer
