Family ripped from their home at gunpoint; Police storm the property looking for terrorists

WATERTOWN, MA -- On Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people's homes and performing illegal searches. While it was unclear initially if the home searches were voluntary, it is now crystal clear that they were absolutely NOT voluntary. Police were filmed ripping people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.

There has already been a thread on this and nobody has put forward any evidence showing whether or not there was a warrant for that search nor why that house was raided the way it was.

They'd find a lot more terrorists if they just looked in mirrors.

And no one has yet to show it wasn't a standard procedure based on the circumstances surrounding it. Also I see no one being "ripped from their house at gunpoint", they were calmly walking out, the officer's weapons were almost constantly in the ready position, not the aimed position.
Oh and in a case like this each state has the right to invoke temporary emergency powers under their respective constitutions. Generally each city has the same emergency powers granted by their charter.

You forgot to post the link to the court ruling determining that the ‘searches’ were ‘illegal.’

You forget how the Constitution works. Any search wothout a warrant is automatically presumed to be illegal, and the government is required to prove that the search was justified. In other words, until you link to a court hearing that the search was legal, it was illegal.

Americans have been programs to stand down to authority.

And when that authority is standing there heavily armed and prepared to kill you?

Well, who can blame them?

 

[Katzndogz]

To all actual indications, no one was ripped from their homes. The people of Watertown were VERY happy to cooperate. They CHEERED the police when the terrorists were caught.

Amen to this! If the law came into my home without a search warrant, I would at least demand that they give me compensation for anything that they break or destroy.

God bless you always!!!

Do that, and you might tragically be killed "resisting arrest", or die of a "self-inflicted" gunshot wound to the back. Or you might mysteriously get gang-raped and murdered by assailants unknown a few days later.

What's Bad About a House-to-House Search?

by Michael S. Rozeff Article posted Apr 24 2013

In a house-to-house search, police can find evidence of many wrongdoings. This depends on other laws that are passed and what items may be searched. Police could find a copyright violation on most everyone's computer, for example. They could find drugs. They could find out-of-date prescription drugs. They could find weapons. They could find cash and seize it. It is the search power combined with other laws that become a powerful tool of repression.

"The Nazis took control and transformed the traditional police forces of the Weimar Republic into an instrument of state repression and, eventually, of genocide."

The spectacle of Americans being routed from their homes with raised arms and herded down the street is not too far, however, from German soldiers arresting Jews in Warsaw in 1943:
