roguetrickIn Marion County newspaper raid, a grim threat to Kansans' First Amendment rights - Kansas Reflector
The outrageous law enforcement assault on the Marion County Record newspaper raises a veritable forest of red flags.
After looking at the paper's website, I noticed that they accused the police chief of knowing that they were giving the drunk driving Karen a pass for diving without a license. This raid was in retaliation for reporting on that, since the idea that the entire paper was committing identity theft is ridiculous. Small town corruption, as it is.
I was too nasty to judge the chief of police being insane just because the paper reported on his corruption. They were also investigating him for sexual abuse allegations https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper
Sounds like some shit they do in Russia
I mean, federal law or not it’s a clear 1st amendment violation and 100% unconstitutional.
Fourth amendment violation in my opinion. This is obviously an unreasonable search and seizure.
dan1101While this looks very bad, at least we are able to talk about these violations and put a spotlight on them.
And just like that, the Kansas Reflector was seized.
What is the reason the police have to the judge to sign off on the warrant?
Just saying the newspaper is investigating a police chief or a police officer is not going to get a warrant.
I hope there’s more to this story. Or a lot of people are going to get sued.
I didn't read the affidavit, but folks are reporting that it doesn't justify the warrant. I'm sure there are spurious allegations of a crime are in it.
Sorry it posted them in the incorrect order.
Yeah the warrant references the affidavit that the police/AG provided for probable cause. I'd be very curious as to what that says.
