Now hold on a second.

I seem to remember reading something...

EDIT:
The citys entire five-officer police force and two sheriffs deputies

I mean, it's not a race, but I struggle to think what's worse: a corrupt large city occupying force or a small town posse that basically runs the joint.

If you are in Kansas and have found that you are west Lawrence and you aren't at K-State or going driving to Colorado, then you've made a mistake and need to head east immediately.

Yeah, I've never been to that place but this is exactly the type of thing I'd (for better or worse) expect in a place like that.

I'm guessing they will have to trim a little from the five person police force when they get sued into oblivion for this illegal search and seizure (not to mention the bodily injury to one of the reporters).

No they weren't. It's all in the article. The piece in question wasn't even published and the businessowner outed herself publicly from either the police misunderstanding or her misunderstanding and the paper was punished in retaliation (I'm guessing she's either friends with someone on the police or the judge who issued the illegal warrant). It's corruption at its core from stupid people in a party who claim to hate corruption.

Sounds like either the police chief, or someone very close to him is probably sleeping with this restaurant owner given how hard they went after the newspaper.

The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead. Viar didnt respond to a request to comment for this story or explain why she would authorize a potentially illegal raid.

And then theres this evil bitch. Cant wait till shes disbarred.

Kids never let anyone tell you doctors or lawyers are smart because God damn theres a lot of stupid ones.

Get rid of that judge while were at it.

Protections against unwarranted search and seizure have always been shaky. The police cant just walk in to your property unless someone else equally unaccountable to you says they can. From the civilians perspective whats the difference?

"Upon further review, however, I have come to the conclusion that insufficient evidence exists to establish a legally sufficient nexus between this alleged crime and the places searched and the items seized," Ensey said in a statement.

"As a result, I have submitted a proposed order asking the court to release the evidence seized. I have asked local law enforcement to return the material seized to the owners of the property."
A lawyer for the newspaper said he was working quickly to get back the seized items.

"Yes, I can confirm the county attorney has withdrawn the search warrant and the items seized are being released," the newspaper's attorney Bernie Rhodes said. "My forensic expert is en route to Marion to retrieve them."

So the newspaper is getting their equipment back. I'm guessing this isn't the end of this story, though.

It really shouldn't. Too damn egregious to let this shit just go (along with an old woman dying as a result).

This is fucking chilling. If you don't have reasonable cause, you can't just raid a newspaper and shut them down. This is systemic intimidation of the press, which is supposed to be illegal.

Oh it is absolutely illegal. Thing is, cops can do whatever they want and if you try and stop them they can and will use state sanctioned violence against you.

Anything less than murder charges sticking to the police chief, and the judge and fellow raiding officers also being convicted at least as accessories would be a disgusting, abhorrent, egregious miscarriage of justice.
