A Tampa, FL man returned from a concert to find that his expensive business truck completely ransacked – by police.
They had no warrant and did so without his presence, simply leaving him a note, which read:
“Sir, your car was checked by TPD K-9. The vehicle was searched for marijuana due to a strong odor coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. Any questions call Cpl Fanning”
“You think if anyone is going to break into your vehicle in Ybor, the last person you think, it’s going to be the cops,” stated owner Matthew Heller.
Police actually ripped out wires and trashed the electronics in his truck, which he used as a display model for his business. They found no marijuana.
The local police dept claims they had a right to perform this search, but attorney Bryant Camareno disagrees:
“It’s an illegal search,” Camareno stated. “Usually if it’s some kind of unoccupied vehicle there has to be some level of exigent circumstance to justify searching a vehicle without a search warrant. Exigent could mean if there is a dead body inside, if there is a screaming child locked in the car, a dog but if the car is unoccupied there is no exigency to justify the search.”
Sounds like a communist police state.That police force must have voted for Obama.
This is wrong and demonstrates the overreach of government. It seems as if the Police just wanted to destroy an exceptional looking truck.
The longer we allow such acts of TYRANNY to be committed AGAINST THE PEOPLE, the more things like this will occur!
No more lying down and BLINDLY OBEY, WE THE PEOPLE are NOT under any obligation to follow orders given by OUR EMPLOYEE COPS!!
They are NOT protected by ANY constitution, NOT ELECTED and have ABSOLUTELY ZERO RIGHTS when in uniform, and to make it easier for us, they are also PROPERTY OF THE PEOPLE, they are NOT free to do as they please!
WE THE PEOPLE are not slaves to ANY level of any government, and it is time we SHOVE OUR FISTS INTO THE FACE OF GOVERNMENT!
STAND UNITED, because alone, we will be attacked and murdered by these FILTHY BASTARDS!!
To STOP POLICE ABUSE by making them SWING FROM TREE LIMBS!
The line must be drawn HERE!
This far…NO FURTHER!!\
And WE WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID!!
Sounds like NEXT time he is driving down the road, sees a local cop car following him, time to SLAM on the brakes for an “emergency” stop! Let them explain how they rear-ended a big truck ! Pay-backs ARE a bitch !
Bad deal.
Blame Obumers appointees in the Supreme Court
Bull c**p
It’s time to fight back
Make them for damage’s I would for sure. Tear up the wiring and such.
Sounds like the police need a new nose.
This is getting out of hand. Americans need to fight back.
And undocumented CHILDREN gathered up & hauled to Arizona per MSNBC. The government is just acting totally irrational on all fronts. Where is the word reasonable in our country these days?
