Information supplied by a firearms licensee as mandated by the National Firearms Act may not be used to obtain a warrant to search the dealer’s home and business premises, the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled yesterday...
Briseno ruled that the evidence was illegally seized because 26 U.S.C. Sec. 5848 provides that information provided to the federal government in compliance with the NFA “may not be used, directly or indirectly, as evidence against [the person providing the information] in a criminal proceeding.”
But that's OK--treasonous fanatics who hate free human beings are working hard to change that--maybe they'll even use the word "loophole". Meanwhile, our supposed leaders tell us we need to "improve" the monster, instead of mustering with pitchforks, chasing it into a windmill and burning the damned thing down.

Wow, it's like we have rights or something.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good ruling from an unlikely quarter. I'm sure some rules changes are already in the works.
ReplyDeleteOne question. If the evidence was obtained illegally as the court opinion stated it was, where are the criminal charges against the people who committed the illegal acts?
Why didn't the court direct those charges be brought?
They stated their opposition to the manipulation of the system and the fooling of magistrates. Would not prosecuting the miscreants be a much better deterrent than merely letting them go unrewarded for their perfidy?
Ok, so I'm not a mathematician.
