Reply #93: the warrant doesn't matter-- only its existence matters....

[mike_c]

I'm sure others have pointed this out already. Listen carefully:

THERE WAS NO PROBABLE CAUSE.

Since there was absolutely no illegal activity at the house-- growing christmas trees under indoor lights is NOT illegal-- there could not be probable cause to execute ANY warrant. Period.

The police must have lied to obtain the warrant. That is not supposition, since there was not any actual probable cause. Note too that as of this moment, the police have refused to exhibit the request they made for the warrant. Something to hide, perhaps?

WHAT they're concealing is supposition, i.e. they must have lied to the court to obtain the warrant, but what specific lie they told is as yet unknown.
