This is a great 'abuse of power' news story... I wonder why nobody has picked it up...

Getting out of the car with his weapon drawn while issuing commands is one thing...that's just a bad cop...hell, those are a dime a dozen.

But getting a judge to sign a search warrant and raiding this guy's parent's home? I mean, physically entering their home under threat of jail or death and rummaging through your things....then seizing (see: stealing) the computers...

That just blows my mind.

Dontcha know? Latest fashion. Search you, confiscate what they want, and if they find anything they want to fuck you for, they retroactively justify it as probable cause, and shred the Constitution. Happens every day. Just another day at the cop shop.

*Most frequent cause of this unwarranted search is the "DWB" stop.

Sure, sure...that's all day to day business. Hell, its even happened to me before and I'm just an innocent ol' white boy.

But this seems to be of a bit different flavor than the usual "Constitutional Shredding" in that after the initial dickmove they got a search warrant and served it at this guy's home, his parent's home actually.

That's different...

Cuz it's an evil sportbiker, and "you know how those guys are, he was probably going 350mph on half a wheel in rush hour traffic." It's infuriating.

I don't think the pulling the gun is a big deal, considering the rider was backing up and could potentially pose a threat to the officer if he had charged him or whatever. And it wasn't even pointed at him anyway. The bigger deal in this case is the video seizure. Cops and the DA are just mad that they got embarassed on Youtube, and want revenge.

...An hopefully a judge will see that, and not just an evil sportbiker.

I think he needs a jury of his peers; riders!

By that logic every person on the planet that is not restrained is a potential threat.
