Oklahoma has more meth houses than most other states, and even here we havent had anything this dumb happen.
I understand them investigating it, but smashing the door?
Really?
I think I smell that lawsuit too, sneasle.  |
Hm..... ok well in your typical meth lab case, who do you think is behind that door? Are the people going to just open up and let you in with no problems? no. the police did NOTHING wrong in this case from the facts we have. Hell, they had a warrant, which is a document signed by a judge, so there was enough information to convince a judge to give them the right to go in there in the first place. Believe it or not, things like this happen alot, so many of the same warning signs for drugs are seen with people who have fish tanks. High electric bills, glowing lights, chemicals and chemical smells, boxes/bags of stuff being delivered or brought in.
probable cause, unlike many people think, is not a hard thing to obtain... it can be based on personal observations of an officer, or any form of hearsay evidence from another party... probable cause is just enough information to get passed the "reasonable suspicion" level. Sometimes you act on the only information you have, and 90% of the time you end up busting a meth house, or something of the sort. I dont see anyone posting on the good job busts, just the one incident where everyone can stand back and say how dumb or stupid it was. The real world isnt perfect, law isnt perfect, the water heater guy isnt perfect... I commend them on trying to do a very dangerous job. A meth lab is not a safe place to be, and those men and women who bring them down are being put at a very high risk of injury or death...
