Oldie but a goodie

This is to show you that the warrantless searches so favored by tyrannical yambags in DC are nothing new and different.

Enforcement teams consisting of a housing inspector and a police officer do not obtain search warrants before showing up to check for occupancy code violations, a Belleville News-Democrat investigation found.

Most residents give their permission to come in, although reluctantly, and those who don't usually are charged. Sometimes they simply walk in.

I also have to wonder what happens to those who actually have the testicular fortitude to deny the "authorities" access to their homes. Will they be subject to persecution or prosecution for "the common good?" In the above-linked story, when people refused to let the "authorities" into their homes without a warrant, they were charged with obstruction or interfering with a health officer, despite a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that it is unconstitutional to arrest someone who doesn't allow a search without a warrant.

I guess the law doesn't matter to those who claim to have sworn to uphold it.
