Boston Door to Door Searches
« on: April 23, 2013, 08:26:12 AM »
What say you - legit or not?

We can clearly say there were no warrants issued.

I would argue that some of these searches were not consensual either.

Combine these two, and you get illegit.

Go.

Likely an excessive application of exigent circumstances.

What I found hilarious in some... discussions on facebook is that people were arguing that any warrantless  and non-consensual searches were legit under the hot pursuit exemption.

Hot pursuit... right... that's why they didn't chase the guy into a particular dwelling. In fact, if I recall correctly, he was actually found outside of the search area. Yup, hot pursuit alright..

I think it's clear that the non-consensual searchers were illegal.  The frisking of homeowners was illegal.  The pointing of weapons at homeowners was assault.  For the most part the entire operation was over-kill.  And it sickens me.

The frisking of homeowners was illegal.

Frisking for what? If I were in the lockdown area I would have armed myself with whatever I had. My gun would be in open view. Does this mean they went around confiscating guns or checking serial numbers? If a bomber is loose in my town and I was told to stay inside and not answer the door then I would have armed myself for personal protection.

I never did hear the frisking part but then again there is so much news around the entire ordeal I just missed it.

Like I have asked, how much do we take? How much do "WE" allow? No one has drawn a line in the sand...
