And when the homeowner declines permission, do the police say Thanks anyway? Or do they get a no-knock warrant served on them later that night?
Sure sounds like probable cause to me, Anon. After all, what does an honest person have to hide? :)
What the hell, David?!?
Oh, wait a sec...
Ah, yes. My tongue-in-cheek-o-meter is working now.
Wonder if they will change their tune if enough of us enforce our Rights, as is Constitutionally provided? First utilize the First, that failing; utilize the Second....
> "If we go to a house, we're going to ask the owner of the house if they will consent to a search for illegal weapons," Abraham said at a news conference.
"I don't consent to a search for anything," said the owner of the house, who knew the correct reply. (And BTW: nice try at tricking the owner into granting your premise that there are 'illegal' weapons on the property, to say nothing of the red-herring premise that there are 'illegal' weapons; but no sale.)
> First utilize the First, that failing; utilize the Second....
In this instance, don't you mean "First utilize the Fourth"?
