If this man did indeed steal grave markers, then screw him.
I agree, stealing grave markers is a dick, sleaze ball move, but it's not something that I would get worked up over
enough to yank his LTC and confiscate his property over.
However, the stolen property was only found out because a tax collector decided to snoop around and saw unsecured firearms through the window.
That's why I questioned the validity of the search warrant.
A town official/employee, working in his assigned capacity, wandering around the guys yard (with
or without permission), happens to peer into the window, sees all those 'improperly stored' firearms,
and reports it to the police.
Did he/she exceed what is and what isn't allowed in the performance of those duties?
I'm aware there are evidence rulings regarding 'in plain sight', which has me wondering if the assessor just happened
to be strolling by the window and saw the stuff, or was he not minding his own
****ing business Gladys Kravitz style?
Even if he CWOFs out on all charges to avoid federal PP status (not sure about the sentences for stealing, but storage law violation for "high cap" firearms is a misde-felony), I'm sure he'll never get his LTC/guns back because of suitability.
I wasn't aware of any high cap stuff being involved.
The suitability shit?
Yeah... the chief could pull that chicken shit stunt, but after all the boot
****ing the department got
from this incident, it probably wouldn't be a wise move to make.
