first of all im a police supporter & a gov hater, but why didn't this guy ask for his warrant? i dont care if i have nothing to hide, if somebody wants to invade my personal space; they need a warrant.
no warrant, real police searching your home/computer and not documenting it OR no fake apple police coming into your house and looking through your stuff
if the story is true (who knows) than the guy probably does have it, but i find it peculiar it yet again happened at a bar...
A. There was no legal process here. They didn't have a warrent because they weren't seeking a injuction of some kind. They just wanted to know if the guy had stolen property.
The cops were there to facilitate a process, as they should, and to make sure something potentially illegal hadn't occured.
This is somewhat like having a baseball go into a neighbors yard, I would first knock on the neighbors door, ask if I or he can go into the back yard and retrieve my ball.
The guy had full rights to say, NO, and he didn't. Apparently he felt if something that didn't belong to him was somehow in his house, then it should be returned to its owner.
MY problem is now he is calling foul, and now apparently cops were involved. The thing is it was a private matter, the cops were only there, I assume for safety sake, which is smart.
Theres nothing illegal about going to my neighbor asking if I can come in and look in his house, he may tell me to **** off, and has full rights to, but he also has the right to let me in and let me look around.
The problem is now he is saying they were posing as police? I find that difficult to believe with police right there with them. If he let them in, theres no civil liberty problems, except with himself. If everything they did was sanctioned by the home owner, then this is just a big blown out of proportion story, or just bs from the owner who thinks he can get something out of it.
