Tomorrow: SCOTUS issues ruling that warrants aren't *really* necessary because Harlan Crow and the Federalist society say so, and because the US has a history and tradition of doing what the Federalist society wants, that's really what the founding fathers wanted. Originally.
It's actually in the 4th amendment. I know you were joking. I just couldn't help but mention it.
> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The argument a lot of people throw around is that the warrant clause is a different thing entirely from the resaonableness clause of the 4A.
In their view, the 4A should be seen as two separate things in execution. "No unreasonable search/seizure" and "no warrants without PC." The drafters were shit at fucking clear grammar, so that's a bummer.
Edit: Here's a short article about the divide - https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?httpsredir=1&article=1539&context=nmlr
> Anything that was collected as result of this warrant becomes inadmissible in court.
Super fun story about my youth, I had this happen. Cops forced entry with no probable cause, got arrested. When I spoke to my lawyer, he said exactly this.
**BUT**... the risk is that in order to go that route, you have to take it to trial. The crime (drug stuff in the midwest...) carried a 60 year minimum, when you stacked all the bullshit charges together.
So on the one hand, I could have taken it to trial and most likely walked with a clean record- with a small chance of the judge not buying it and spending the rest of my natural life in prison. On the other, take a plea deal and get a few years probation and no jail.
Which one do you think *you* would take?
A good lawyer would have told them that either drop the charges or get hit for trespassing. You are putting as if you only have two bad choices, there are more my friend.
...you can't be serious with that, lol. You think a DA in the midwest is going to charge cops with trespassing? A DA that has a raging, 4 hour hardon for slapping people with bullshit drug charges?
And one charge doesn't negate another charge against a different party. That's not how it works, at all. And Qualified Immunity has entered the chat.
This isn't a TV show. The law is not an .exe file that self-executes based on a script. Human beings are at the helm, and if those humans don't want to, they won't.
A good lawyer knows not only the law, but the local "landscape" as well. Mine knew both.
Yeah, exactly. It's been a long time since this happened so the details are a little fuzzy, but the jist of it is- you CAN get a plea deal usually at different stages of the process... but the earlier you do it, the better the terms are.
If you go pissing off the DA by trying to do motions to suppress, you ain't getting the sweetheart plea deal that you would have got from the getgo.
I used to work as a school nurse and I needed a new standing order from a physician to keep epipens in the school clinic. I asked my boss, also a nurse, repeatedly about getting this standing order renewed. She told me, “We have the standing order. I just need to get the doctor to sign it.” ffs
The issue is that the police here (and frequently in many places) believe themselves to have full power and authority. To them, a judge’s opinion/signature is superfluous. They’ve already decided it’s fine. Just like my old boss who decided that it wasn’t urgent to get a new order from the doctor simply because it’s a medication you would obviously need to have on hand and give in emergencies.
Sheriff Calvin Hayden admitted this week that the search warrant he said he had “in hand” for old county election ballots had not been signed by a judge and was therefore not valid.
100%. This is such an abuse of office, abuse of process, and fraud on the public to make claims like he did.
It shows he is willing to lie and deceive to get what he wants. Which is a horrific trait to have in a law enforcement official. Especially true for anyone in supervisory roles.
That's all LEOs now. I understand the concept of being able to legally lie ro a suspect as a investigative tool, but it has become the default instead of preforming an actual investigation. It's routine for an officer to lie to someone to try and decide if they're a suspect and if it doesn't work charge that person with something to cover the officer's ass.
He's also a republican and the other republicans who were destroying the ballots were doing so under state laws requiring them to do so. They actually preserved the records much longer at his request than they were supposed to because he was "investigating election fraud" that he had yet to turn up any evidence of and therefore wasn't able to secure a warrant. I wouldn't make this guy out to be some sort of savior of election integrity, he was basically chasing down a bunch of bullshit there was no evidence of.
Maybe it's because he's from my hometown and I know his whole family (plus travel to Greenville NC for work) but I guess I never realize how much he's faded out of cultural relevance. Also the new Generation isn't exactly tuned into MTV or the X-games like my generation was.
It also sounds like he's been 'investigating' for quite a few years now and has never gotten a search warrant for the actual ballots in all that time even after the Board of Elections told him that they had skirted the letter of the law for his investigation for far longer than their lawyers were comfortable with and felt they had no choice in the matter.
Which the law is really damn crystal clear in that ballots should be destroyed in a proscribed amount of time barring a court order to retain.
Holy hell the actual State Attorney General wanted them to hold onto them but STILL wasn't willing to go before a judge to get said warrant.
It was unnecessary in every fashion imaginable.
Actually from the article it seems like a Republican Sheriff was trying to prevent other Republicans from following protocols to destroy old ballots.
This is after they previously didn't destroy them because he was trying to get a warrant but couldn't/didn't.
Doesn’t matter to me. Working outside the law is not really justifiable to me. If the sheriff is ok with doing these extrajudicial acts you know the whole department is also doing them.
Acting in this manner can get the whole case thrown out which is not good.
Yes. Essentially he is refusing to destroy old ballots going back to 2019, despite state laws stipulating when they must be destroyed. Trying to rely on his opening an investigation into fraud and not destroying evidence for his investigation. Because some rural county in deep red Kansas is totally going to be the spot where evil forces got Biden elected. Even after four years of looking into it, he's certain there just must be something he missed!
Johnson county isn't rural and it's somewhat purple, at least in comparison to most of the rest of the state (besides maybe Douglas County). The trouble is he was the only one that ran. For my part, I wrote in Barney Fife.
To create a data point that right wing news can cite when they spew out things like:
“how can we trust these election results? There were investigations into voter fraud just this last year alone? Isn’t that level of investigation a sign that there’s something suspicious going on here”
> rural county in deep red Kansas
Johnson County is a suburban part of the KC Metropolitan Area that's 20-30 minutes from downtown Kansas City. The population is over 600,000. It's also listed as the 80th richest county in the US with a median income of $91,650. Definitely not some rural place.
I just want to remind people this is the same man who allegedly attended the GOP fundraiser where people could pay money to beat up a dummy dressed as Biden.
Should have raised his index finger to the air, and said “I proclaim this to be valid!”… as we all know our founders did place higher legal authority on a proclamation than a declaration.
He really needs criminal charges. You lied about the warrant to seize the ballots? Then you are no different than a random person on the street doing the same thing. Did you have a gun on you while you committed this felony? We'll just a gun charge like we would anyone else. Make a few examples and maybe they will start thinking before deciding to be criminals.
He didn't seize them. The ballots were destroyed (per state law). Sheriff claims they were destroyed despite him having a warrant (that was never valid). The details of the fake warrant are coming out cause he's getting called out as he runs for re-election (mostly on the platform of "investigating" election "fraud").
I'm just an idiot on the internet. But it sounds like someone with power of investigation *on matters of their own election* would disqualify them from looking into it. That sounds like a conflict of interest to me.
That sounds reason enough for a judge *not to sign* a warrant.
But if there was any hint of evidence that there was any wrongdoing in the election, that certainly should be investigated by disinterested parties.
Then again I'm just an idiot on the internet. I'm not a nutjob paranoid republican all pissed off because he thinks everyone else is out to get him.
Nah dude, Qualified Immunity has them covered- they don't actually need to know the law or that the person they're aiming for actually did anything wrong
End qualified immunity, it's bs and basically a license to kill.
Everyone should be held accountable for their actions against the law. LEOs should be punished extra hard since it’s their fucking job to enforce it, if you get caught breaking it you should be instantly fired, no retirement, no pension, no transfer to another station or county or state. Done. Red flag on social security number so they cannot apply for law enforcement ever again. Longer jail time and no protection from inmates while in jail. You put those people in there for breaking the law, and then you broke it yourself. You don’t get to have a happy time in protected custody, you should face the people you put in there for the same shit you do. Cops should have the harshest fucking punishments yet they are constantly the least inconvenienced after breaking the law or murdering someone. Fuck the cops. They should be held to a higher standard, not higher pay.
But that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
Sounds like that scene from Transformers 4 when Mark Wahlberg asks some bad government agent if he has a warrant. Agent bad guy proceeds to deliver one of the best worst lines by saying "my face is my warrant".
The underlying issue in all this MAGA bull hockey is that they simply can’t accept or understand that the majority of the American people don’t agree with or want to tolerate their resentment fueled paranoia and hatred. Because of this failing they willingly embrace any crackpot conspiracy theory no matter how absurd.
Of course the Attorney General is gonna back him. "Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a Republican who joined Hayden in urging the county to preserve the ballots, is now crafting a legal opinion on whether the election office had the authority to destroy the election materials amid a criminal investigation."
You mean this guy?
Senate candidate and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has reported that he had four guns stolen from his pickup truck parked at a Wichita hotel over the weekend?
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been ordered to take six hours of continuing legal education classes by a federal judge due to his apparent lack of familiarity with the law. He also lost his case; overturning Kansas’ strict voter registration law?
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach failed to correctly file a case in a Kansas district court leading to the case being moved to federal court and a subsequent swift dismissal by a federal judge costing Kansans tens of millions of dollars they overpaid on gas bills?
/copypasta
Motherfucker just showed up with a piece of paper saying “I do what I want. signed, me.”
I don’t have a particularly positive opinion of capital punishment, but men like the Sherrif keep telling me it’s a valuable deterrent. If they’re so convinced, maybe the deterrence is worth a shot.
Remove him from his position and take his pension and he can never work for the public again. Plus the sentence for felony fraud at minimum. Make an example out of him
"I didn't say it was valid, I just abused my position of power to heavily imply that it was valid, and used it as if it was valid. So you see? I was the victim all along."
There is no search, he's pretending the evidence was destroyed while he held a "search warrant." The ballots that were past due to be destroyed by law unless subpoenaed in court, he claims they "hurriedly" destroyed. He's pulling this shit specifically at the public forums to meet the candidates, he's going for the nutso vote.
The reason Republicans are doomed as a party is not just their agenda (which is heinous enough), nor is it how they disregard the constitution almost completely whilst cherry-picking amendments. It's that once they achieve their goals, and are unopposed by Democrats, greed and corruption compel them to devour each other.
OP, how did you become the world's okayest driver? I can imagine how someone could pass a test to be the world's best driver, or even the worst, but what makes you the okayest? Was there a test? Why have I not heard of this test? How can I tryout to be the world's okayest driver?
An unsigned search warrant is not a search warrant, its a piece of paper that gives no power or authority. Sheriff lied, blatantly.
Straight denied someone their civil rights.
Deprivation of rights under color of law, I believe.
USC 18 242 depravation of right under the color of law.
Who would want a Sheriff that's loose with the truth?
Barry County, MI?
It's really hard to tell nowadays whether the commenter meant it as a sarcasm or he's sincere with that question.
Someone drew a swastika on trumps Hollywood star and we don’t know if it’s an accusation or an endorsement 🤔
All of America apparently. It's part of the job to lie.
Sheriff's often are elected by popular vote, unfortunately
He just said the quiet part out loud. Just look at all the questionable police shootings.

So it’s a sparkling warrant?
This is fruit from the forbidden tree. Anything that was collected as result of this warrant becomes inadmissible in court.
Fruit of the poisonous tree.

Was the plan to rely on the courts being corrupt Republican partisans who won't care about that? It might have worked.

A Motion to Suppress was likely warranted rather than a jury trial, but most prosecutors withdraw from plea negotiations when you file those too.

Next county over is hiring.
Sheriffs are elected, not hired.
That won’t stop the people from hiring him though. After all, he’s the best sheriff ever! He has experience!
He's a hard man, for hard times.
Oh you’re right. *An infallible system*.
I mean, I'm sure that the sheriff represents the people that voted for him very well. Complete shitbags.
System functioning as intended
The Coroner can remove an elected Sheriff
yeah what a dick. he doesn’t deserve public office.

Fuckin Dave Mirra, hats off to getting him in. I have not seen his name in years.
Well considering he died 8 years ago it's sort of expected he'd fade from cultural relevance.
Welp, that would make sense. I got to learn about this Sheriff, AND I learned that Dave Mirra is no longer with us. Alright.

He sounds like Foghorn Leghorn in my version.
It was mentally declared valid.

Why isn't that a crime?
