The tipster alerted cops about Bianchino through an anonymous program called "Gun Stop," in which people can confidentially inform the department about illegal guns and receive a reward of $1,000.
Charges are pending against Bianchino.
Well, I guess if they don't respect the Second Amendment (and possibly the Fourth--the story said nothing about a search warrant), there's no reason to expect anyone in government to give a damn about
the Sixth:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right...to be confronted with the witnesses against him...

I would like to think that if a lot of people started calling in false alarms that they would lose the ability to get a warrant since recieving a tip was not "probable" cause.
However, it seems that a lot of warrants are issued on "possible" cause these days.
Thing is, Gun Geek, they won't be many false alarms. The rival drug dealers and cops know who the bad guys are--just call in their own tips and VOILA--they're probably better than 90% sure to get a hit.
Yeah, they can call in their own tips, get the probable cause warrant, do a no knock raid, and when they hit the wrong house, they can happily kill anyone who thinks they're resisting criminals.
Sometimes I just can't help but think our entire gov't sucks!
Where they burn guns, they will soon burn people.
