This is a great 'abuse of power' news story... I wonder why nobody has picked it up...

But getting a judge to sign a search warrant and raiding this guy's parent's home? I mean, physically entering their home under threat of jail or death and rummaging through your things....then seizing (see: stealing) the computers... That just blows my mind.

*Most frequent cause of this unwarranted search is the "DWB" stop.

But this seems to be of a bit different flavor than the usual "Constitutional Shredding" in that after the initial dickmove they got a search warrant and served it at this guy's home, his parent's home actually. That's different...

I don't think the pulling the gun is a big deal, considering the rider was backing up and could potentially pose a threat to the officer if he had charged him or whatever. And it wasn't even pointed at him anyway. The bigger deal in this case is the video seizure. Cops and the DA are just mad that they got embarassed on Youtube, and want revenge.
