The E.W. Scripps Company, on behalf of KSHB-TV and KMCI-TV , has co-authored a letter to the police chief of Marion, Kansas, condemning a raid at the newspaper offices of the Marion County Record.
If the police got the search warrant and they didn’t lie to the judge to get the warrant, then they didn’t break the law.
Now the judge giving a warrant , that is up to the appropriate authorities to figure out if the warrant was properly authorized.
If the judge handed over a warrant that shouldn’t have been signed, and it becomes a violation of the first amendment. That judge has a HUGE problem.
But that is up to the attorneys to figure out. But we won’t see anything on that for several months. That sort of thing takes a long time. Justice usually goes slow.
While they eventually decided not to publish the story, The Record was investigating the restaurant owner for an old DUI conviction that would have prevented her 7-month-old restaurant from getting a very profitable liquor license. They were also investigating that she had been knowingly driving without a license - a fact that the local cops knew and refused to confront her about.
That may have something to do with the fact that the County Attorney/DA’s brother owns the hotel the restaurant was in and, if the restaurant made money, so too would the brother.
The Record was also investigating allegations that the Police Chief, who had been in office for just two months, had left his previous job due to numerous allegations of sexual assault. And the details about the people telling The Record about the sexual assault allegations were on one of the computers that the police seized.
I haven’t heard any allegations against the judge as yet but it’s early days yet. For now, it really looks like a shitload of greed and corruption - or, as they say in small towns, “go along to get along”.
Were is the federal DOJ locking these fucker up who violated federal law?
Sick of watching corruption go unpunished in our country.
