....Time 2006 Man of the Year :>Parents Sue Deputy Found in Daughter's Room After Warrantless Home Invasion
2007-02-25
I'd like to know what others think about the $10M lawsuit coming out of Roanoke, Virginia concerning a couple waking up after 1:00AM to their 10 year old daughter's screams and rushing into her bedroom to find Deputy J. A. Woods with a flashlight aimed on the bed and another man (civilian) yanking the covers off the girl. Please read the article here and then my comments below. [It'll just make more sense, you know? :]
There's just got to be something missing from this story. Apparently, according to the story, Deputy Wood knocked on the [front?] door for 30 minutes [hard to believe knowing that LEO's don't tap-tap-tap on doors, but rather beat the living daylights out of them with their nightsticks] before breaking into the girl's bedroom, while a number of LEO's were positioned outside the house. NOW GET THIS. Apparently they had no warrant. The wife announced she was going to call the Police when the Deputy responded by saying, "I am the Police." The parents demanded, as far as I'm concerned, the reasonable question as to what the hay they were doing there in their daughter's bedroom and the Deputy said they had a reason but he wasn't going to say anything more. -oo- [Well, that surely would have satisfied my
curiosity - NOT.] The parents then ordered them to leave. Other details can be learned from the article, but it should be noted the parents filed the lawsuit and the Deputy's office sent them a letter stating they were looking into it. However, the parents haven't heard a peep since then. What gives?
Something's wrong here. Even if there was a "reason" - why no warrant? Why was the Deputy accompanied by a civilian and not another LEO? What mischief could have been perpetrated there under the color of authority?
How do you get this kind of story out there in the Public Eye to insure the proper scrutiny of this totally bizarre happening? Under the so-called Patriot Act - no one is safe from home invasion by the LEO. Just think. If that father had shot those men in his daughter's bedroom because he felt threatened and was defending his family, don't you think the LEO's outside the house would have shot that house into sawdust leaving no witnesses to the bizarre home invasion?
Does this sound like America to you?
