Swat raid Kansas home. Couple spends $25k to find out why.
http://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/...o-familys-home
Full story at the link. Summary with excerpts below. SWAT raids a leawood couples home with guns drawn. Put them and their young kids on their couch. Find nothing illegal, and seize nothing. Kansas law prevents them from finding out why they were raided. Quote:

"If cops illegally enter; you get very rich in a law suit, not very dead by starting a shoot out."
Yeah, I wish it was that easy. Because I faced the exact same situation. It takes money and a willingness to risk your liberty to challenge the police. My warrant had the wrong date of observing my activity at the Green Circle, and even mentioned me by wrong name within the warrant. Yes, I could have challenged the warrant and maybe have gotten it tossed, but there is a 50/50 chance that the judge will uphold it (or so advised my lawyer). Mistakes don't void a warrant, only intentionally deceitful ones do. If you do challenge and lose, there goes your chance to plea bargain. Class B has you looking at 15 years. Plea bargain will probably get you probation. What are you going to do? The system is rigged so that plaintiffs don't get a chance at justice. It takes bigger balls and a deeper wallet than I have to get justice. If you are looking at a Class B, lawyers want 10k upfront. Yeah, I was ****ed over, because the warrant was bullshit. But the only option the system gives you is to take the plea.

How does this place stay open if cops just sit and wait for customers?

It's similar to waiting outside a bar waiting for the drunks to leave.

How does the word not get out not to go to that business because you'll get popped.. From what I gather from reading this thread is that it happens with a some what regularity. Why do people keep showing up? Its not like to Catch a Predator where they have a different house each time. |

Wow, this is an interesting report. I had no idea that this sort of thing existed.

In the last 10-15 years, so many police forces have been armed to the hilt with military style equipment and perform commando tactics on homes all the time.
Police state tactics and really scary. In Hollywood there has been a large outbreak of pranks on celebrity homeowners with fake people calling 911 with armed gun and shooter stories that later turn out to be false. The SWAT teams are showing up with an army of police with all their weapons drawn and massive tanks and battering rams. It's really screwed up.

It's getting scary out there boys and girls.. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/not-your...ack-in-the-us/ Why I DO find funny is that in each story I've seen and heard, they are quick to say that the "gun turret" has been removed. They have not. Still there on top of each vehicle.... Last edited by Randallflagg; 03-26-2014 at 11:22 PM.. |
