So it appears to me that there is no Runnings store in Vt, via a web search
I’ll assume ( yes, I understand the frailty of assuming) the Vt State police went to the store in NH, where basically they have no power of authority
If the owner rolled over w/o a warrant, he will lose a volume of business, as he should, IMO
If they didn't have a warrant I say Boycott that store..
Other thing I wonder is you can't write a warrant across state lines, so a NH judge would've had to grant it? Lame if so.
And honestly even with a warrant I doubt investigators would've found what they were looking for without the store trying extra hard to cooperate.
There was no implication. I clearly stated that I wondered if popo got a warrant.....thats the beginning, middle and end of it.
Of course, if you're trolling, harassing, and acting like a racist, you're just giving everyone a reason to f*** with you.
Dont need a warrant. At the time they were just “securing the premises to stop any destruction of evidence”. And at the same time collecting evidence.
This is how Framingham police do it!
My understanding as an authority you are not entitled to secure or search after the fact without a warrant or cooperation/permission. When they come upon a crime scene that is different, ie like how within 24 hours they can arrest for a crime committed without a warrant but after that must get one.
Until t here is a dissident to be suppressed, in which case charges are filed and an un meetable bail is set.This is exactly right. The Vermont law is vague and virtually unenforceable. I also get the sense (I'm spending a lot of time in VT this winter ) that there's not much interest in enforcing it. Of course, if you're trolling, harassing, and acting like a racist, you're just giving everyone a reason to f*** with you.
