    The part these crusaders don’t understand is that such a plan was bold, rare, and signed-off by a judge after some debate.

    Painting is as 4 rogue cops in a sea of comicbook-villian cops sure is neat for the homeroom edge lords, though.

      Was it?

      It’s not clear if a warrant was sought or obtained, and police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

      I really don’t know what to think of it overall. Obviously I’m happy they were able to eventually identify and convict someone who raped and murdered a child. The way they went about the large sweep was deceptive, but if there’s a warrant and supervision and protections in place for the innocent people who had no connection to the crime maybe it’s okay. I know I’d be feeling deceived and probably a little violated if I was one of the innocent people who was caught in the sweep, though.
