CJ - you are dead wrong. An eviction must be filed in Court, there must be a notice posted at the property, the tennant is afforded an opportunity to come into Court for the eviction hearing, then the eviction is scheduled. The process takes about 90 days.

You can't just call up the police and have them kick someone out of your property. (Which really sucks, because if you ever foreclose on a property you own, once the foreclosure sale is completed the former "owners" now are trespassers - but then still must be evicted)

I know this case - the officers were there to serve something...the suppression issue is an interesting one that the defense might prevail on....

re. #47

Having been a landlord in the past, you are certainly right about eviction. Furthurmore, if a renter claims hardship it is next to imposible to get an eviction.

All my lease agreements had a clause stating that the property owner or his agent had the right to inspect the property. By giving the police the key, they (the police) may have been acting as the owners agent. Jusa a thought.

While the cops made a 4th amendment error, that shouldn't give someone the right to gun someone down. The man was disturbing the peace and knew that there were cops trying to get him to stop. He, with malice, took advantage of the cop's error to kill two people and then brag about it. The fact that he knew they were cops and knew why they were there, errors or no errors, should be enough to fry him, and deservedly so.
