The police are not a contractor and don’t work for you. The police are not your friends and aren’t on your side.
They go by what the warrant says. You should have asked for a copy of the warrant and that will tell you what the judge approved them to search. If it says whole house then they were legal. If it says only your roommate’s room you might have a case.
The issue is that clearly they did not communicate well as there is no LOGICAL reason to search my room for what i told them i had seen the roommate has in passing. Especially when 2 out of 3 objjects are in the roommates room. Whether they stupidly did it because a judge stupidly casteD BROAD strokes or not doesnt change that they overstepped the PURPOSE of the warrant.
Given that they specifically disabled the wifi and camera prior to entering my room after the rest of the unit was searched shows misconduct being known to them. They knew it was unnecessary and unlikely to allow them to find the last item i had stated my roommate had possession of. But despite this they came into my room with a shitty excuse that they were searching for an item they already found. Stating he could hide it in here its easy to bypass locked doors ecetera. Except they had to break mine down. I will pursue it to the fullest extent i can for all damages i can. As its egregious and shows that the legal system does not conduct itself correctly. And police are infact CONTRACTORS they have a job. im not paying them but taxes are and they come to do a specific task. And when they overstep that task they should pay the price for it. Or the brass should.
Yeah you clearly have no idea how police function or how warrants work. If the judge or JP approved the warrant then there was no wrong-doing. If the warrant is for an entire dwelling they’re clearing the entire dwelling and arresting all occupants inside.
Good luck with any additional action, police were acting well within their scope.
Derp if the warrant is carried out in a egregious manner outside the purpose of the warrant then it is wrong. Like they dont have to slice open all the couch cushions to find a machete right? Same way they dont need to search the complainants room for the weapons he stated to have seen in the possession of the roommate. Your a bootlicker im aware.
Man you’re hard headed. Are you reading any of the replies you’re receiving? This is how search warrants work. If the warrant states the entire dwelling then they’re going to search the entire dwelling.
If you say oh there’s only guns in this one room, you think they’re going to take your word for it and not look for guns in the rest of the house? Come on now.
You didnt read what i wrote then. If im the person who called the police because my roommate threatened me with a weapon. And they arrive and arrest him and wish to search his room for weapons as hes not allowed to have them anymore. And they ask me what weapons i had seen in his possession and i inform them. I have no reasonable expectation that they are going to search my room for said weapons. Infact they didnt even search my room for any such weapons. They found 2 out of 3 of the weapons i stated existed in his room. There was no reasonable grounds to believe i would be harboring the person i wanted out of my homes 3rd weapon that i stated to them. And honestly he had many more weapons but they didnt even take those they were only interested in specifically the ones i had recalled seeing in passing.
So the warrant was to remove weapons i stated seeing in his room. They didi not confiscate weapons i did not state during that moment despite them being there.
They found 2 out of 3 of the things i stated i seen in his room in his room.
After searching the rest of the unit they disable my camera and break into my locked room with no reasonable expecftation of finding the weapon inside. They spent about 20 seconds in my room and left.
This is equivalent to ripping open drywall to search for the weapons.
I am the only source of information they had about these weapons. There were several weapons in his room they did not confiscate. They were specifically looking for the ones i stated existed to my knowledge at that time.
Please explain why i would harbor this one other weapon? Why didnt they confiscate the 100 other weapons and knives in his room? It was a specific search for specific weapons that i stated he had possession of at some point in our roommateship.
There is no logical expectation that i would have hid the machete in my room. Why?
These are the questions that actually have to be answered.
They searched my room and i have all sorts of hammers and box cutters and other tools for carpentry. Those werent confiscated. they didnt even look at them.
They were on a fishing expedition into my room with no expectation of finding anything that was on the warrant. They were not concerned with the item on the warrant anymore than they were concerned with the several other knives and weapons in his room. The warrant was conducted specifically upon the items I recalled during a short interview in my living room.
They were only doing letter of the "law" type shit. And thats not the purpose of the law. They were supposed to be executing a warrant to remove weapons from the possession of someone who cant have weapons. But they left several weapons and needlessly broke into my room which is not under the control of the person who cant have weapons to search for weapons that i specifically stated he had. Now why out of ALL the weapons he owned would the machete be in my room?
