MoCo: Drugs and Guns

[MudPuppy]

This article leaves more questions than answers, what's troubling is WaPo alleging the father to have over 45 guns, one of them being an "M16 Assault Rifle" and *GASP* a loaded revolver when people are there.

The comments are much as you can imagine without even bothering to read them...

The four had either attended or graduated from Quince Orchard High School.

Unsurprised.

"I wonder if this clown is an NRA member, get back to us on that one"

Seriously?

What is the connection between the father's guns and the drugs? And what business is it of the neighbor's what guns their neighbor lawfully owns?

"I don't think anyone had any idea about the guns"

Really? Go F*** yourself

Just another of the tens of thousands of SWAT raids we have every year. Gotta protect the people from the evil weed(by terrorizing them, stealing their property, and throwing them in prison). I guess they're lucky their dogs weren't shot, or were they? Not much info in news articles these days.
Note: This video contains graphic real images of SWAT violence and mature language. Viewer discretion is advised.

yeah, they kicked in a neighbor's door, and we found out later it was on the say so of a convicted drug dealer trying to save his own behind by- and this is no joke- giving the police completely random addresses.

Just for the purpose of understanding who the targets of this raid were, the occupants of the house were an elderly couple, the husband a veteran and an amputee, and their nephew in his twenties.

They showed me the charging papers and the search warrant that said the house had been under surveillance for weeks, and in going through their trash they had found "straws, for insufflation of drugs"

So let me get this straight, if the cops want to come in and wreck your shit, all they have to do is wait until you eat fast food before they can break into your house?

Of course they didn't find anything since there was nothing to find, but that didn't stop them from charging the nephew with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer for attempting to get one of the swat officers' foot of the chest of his uncle.

I know the whole family, they're all complete straight shooters.

Later on the charges were dropped, but still. They acted like they were being so magnanimous dropping the charges, and as far as I know they still haven't gotten back a remington 870 that was seized during the raid, and have no legal way to regain the firearm, or anyone to even talk to about it.

Yes they do. There are many threads on here about the procedure to go through to recover a firearm that has been siezed.

When I was in Iraq in 2009 our unit had to release a detainee captured by the unit there before us. Long story short, while searching a house after an IED went off, they found a light socket, a light switch, and some electrical wire. The officer who signed off on the detention wrote that "...in my experience these items would make a perfect detonator for an IED."

We not only released him, we also gave him his stuff back and, wouldn't you know...he installed a light in his house.

Are you talking about the OP or just ranting?

 

[stupid]

Eh its just marijuana. It should be legal now anyway. No worse for you then beer in my opinion. All about how responsible someone is.

 

[J Beard]

WTF kind of charge is "keeping a disorderly house"?
If they had come into my bachelor pad years ago I might still be doing time for that!

That usually will fall in line with the other charge "maintaining a common nuisance".

 

[MJD438]

Case in Rockville was closed and forwarded to the County Circuit. When it was, the charges changed:

• One count of possession with the intent to distribute
• Firearm/drug trafficking
• Common nuisance/administer CDS
• 4 counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor

The title of this thread is very misleading.

I got excited because I thought you were introducing a new IP to the forum.
