Modern day Gestapo

The caseworkers in the Walsh case admitted they had never been taught anything about the Fourth Amendment or search warrants.

The case worker added "I would have read the constitution, but it had so many big words in it.

God save us, please.

Support the ADF financially if you can. They take pride in battling the ACLU.

"...There is...no social worker exception to the strictures of the Fourth Amendment....'

Hurray for this family! I hope we start seeing more of these social-nazi thugs going to court.

[jimkress]

Anderson declined to reveal the specific amount of the settlement, which was not stated in the court record.

Once again the innocent taxpayers are forced to pay for the goonish, jack booted thug tactics of the local Gestapo social workers and police.

The police and social workers responsible for this travesty should be fired, jailed, and then subjected to personal liability for their actions. Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize tyranny.

Judge James G. Carr; remember that name. Someday there might just be a filibuster about this man. Way to go, Your Honor!

[coloradan]

Fantastic case! By the way, I hope the defendants got more than a slap on the wrist. What did they sue for, and what did they win (besides protection of their rights)?

Bravo for the Judge. Socialist Nazis and other statist thugs in the Free State of Ohio best learn the Constitution or face the consequences.

[Pompah]

I just hate it when these kinds of stories come up in this great Country. I'll be pissed off for the next day or two.

"Obstructing Official Business ". AAgghhh.
I can think of many,many households (Mine included)where this little Constitutional drama would not have played out as well as this one did.

I salute Mr.&Mrs. Walsh for keeping their cool in front of their children and the Jack-Booted Gestapo. And I hope and prey that Judge Carr stays on the bench for a long,long time.

“Despite the Defendants’ exaggerated view of their powers, the Fourth Amendment applies to them,...

Aye-men Bro!

It's about time these gubmint agencies got their chain jerked!

[Ken H]

Kudos to this judge. Nice to know the good guys occasionaly win.

Several months ago, there was a thread about either this case or a similar one. I was thinking it was in North Carolina.

Anyone have a link to that thread?

I'm curious to see if anyone took the side of the social agency.

[pariah]

it's a crying shame that it would even have to come to that. It’s just a reminder that we have to be vigilant and assertive about protecting our rights.

Yes, a cryin' shame. Illegal search and seizure under the 'we're here to help you' rationale; threats by the state to take their children! (Shades of Stalinist Russia!)
Thank heaven for the Alliance Defense Fund and similar organizations. The ACLU is conspicuous by its total absence from these cases.

HS/4th amend ping!

Personally, I think the thing the Walshes should have done was call 911 when the SW tried to illegally enter the home, and assert to the cops that there was someone impersonating a state official and trying to kidnap their kids! That would've gotten the cops over there in a big hurry! And on the Walsh's side.
