Seven uniformed law enforcement officers, most of them in NYPD gear, cursing, jumping over the store counter and charging at a shopkeeper after he asked them for a court order.

“When a cop tells you to do something, you do it. That’s it.”
What a chode. When the constitution tells cops they need a warrant they should get one.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Every cop there should be charged with deprivation of rights under color of law, but I won’t hold my breath.
