Why should we Free BSD?
Holy hell... This sounds like some really messed up stuff.
The federal court's decision is public. Why not share the decision?
I am skeptical ...
Damn.
Damn squared.. Why they would not show warrant? Cause they had none?
IF what OP states and what's on LiveFreak is 100% truth, I'd think there'd be lawyers crawling out of the woodwork to handle the case.
That's the truth. There are a lot of really hungry lawyers out there and you can almost find a lawyer to take just about any case. Problem is he wants the lawyer to finance his litigation, so any decent business person is going to weigh the costs of the case versus probability and amount of any recovery. The fact that he can't find any lawyer is a big warning flag IMO.
Anyone find out WHY the ATF and Sheriff showed up at the residence? Let's hear the whole story...
(never mind, found it on Maryland case search -video and the narrative posted gives all the clues you'll need to find it, I'll leave it at that)
Good luck your gonna need it...

But they had hoodies that said SHERIFF on them. No warrants needed.

You're right...they didn't have a "search warrant" because they didn't have one!! Those 2 deputies are part of a "warrant unit" and didn't have a search warrant because they were not there search the premise. they have an "arrest warrant" to arrest the guy in the penguin t-shirt!!
they don't have to produce an arrest warrant HOWEVER if it was a search warrant they would have to produce it. I would like to read the warrant and also read the Judges decision on the dismissal of charges. The OP states there was a violation of the 4th Amendment....that's quite possible but I would like the read the SOC and decision from the suppression hearing. Why was the warrant unit there, what did the warrant say and what probable cause where there in the first place. If you see the video....no guns were seized or even discussed.
In this country...anyone can sue anyone but it doesn't make that person right or not-guilty. For God's sake we can thank Johnny Cochran for that!!! I know all those in the video and all those mentioned by the OP.....I'm sure there's much more then meets the eye.
BTW....the female was cuffed because she was obviously hindering. Several times she put herself and her arms in front of the stairway. The video shows that, handcuffing doesn't mean there is an arrest but is a good way to prevent the incident from further getting out of control or physical.
I'm not going to say that police officers don't make bad arrests because we have youtube to show that that's not true. What I'm saying is get the whole story before you pass judgement either on the deputies there or the boy in the penguin shirt.
