Ninth Circuit Leaves California’s 24/7 Gun-Store Surveillance Law in Place [More]
If they’re not afraid to violate the Second Amendment, why would tyrants worry about ignoring the First, Fourth, and Fifth?

Gun Owner’s Highway Patrol Encounter Highlights Importance of Asserting Rights
There’s another lesson here for gun owners that’s every bit as important as not consenting to having your car searched (don’t physically resist, just make it clear you don’t consent and fight it later with an attorney who can argue probable cause): Don’t talk to the police. [More]
It’s hard to “back the blue” when their seemingly benign conversation in every compelled interaction is to get you to say something they can use against you.
Getting the Flock Outta There
Eagle Sports Range in Cudahy says it has removed all of its Flock Safety cameras, citing privacy concerns. [More]
Here.
Now we see if Flock sues them and if they can then countersue for fraudulent concealment/fraud in the inducement because known negative impacts on business were never disclosed.

We’re the Only Ones Disconnected Enough
A federal judge ruled that “tower dump” warrants, which allow police to obtain records for every cellphone that connected to nearby cell towers around a crime scene, are per se unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment as general warrants. [More]

We’re the Only Ones Unreasonable Enough
“The police must have reasonable suspicion that the person is possessing the gun illegally or otherwise engaged in criminal activity,” wrote Judge Kathryn Grill Graeff. “Because the officers here stopped appellant based solely on his possession of a gun, without reasonable suspicion that he was possessing the gun illegally or otherwise involved in criminal activity, they did not have reasonable suspicion to stop him. The stop, therefore, violated appellant’s Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizures.” [More]

Curses! Foiled Again!
Although the Maryland appellate courts have, for decades, upheld police stops based on reasonable suspicion that a person is in possession of a gun, after Bruen, carrying a handgun publicly for self-defense is presumptively lawful, and therefore, mere possession of a concealed firearm, by itself, is not indicative of criminal activity. The mere possibility that a person with a gun might not have a valid license or otherwise may be restricted from possessing a gun is not enough to establish reasonable suspicion for a seizure. The police must have reasonable suspicion that the person is possessing the gun illegally or otherwise engaged in criminal activity. [More]

We’re the Only Ones On Track Enough
The Texas Rangers have launched a criminal investigation after two Houston police officers were accused of secretly placing a GPS tracking device on a suspect’s vehicle without a warrant… According to records, both officers initially denied involvement. [More]
And it further means they’d have had to lie about how they obtained any evidence resulting from the placement in order for it to be admissible.
Thank goodness the problem isn’t more widespread…. right?

We’re the Only Ones Fogged Up Enough
“Nevada quietly signed an agreement earlier this year with a company that collects location data from cellphones, allowing police to track a device virtually in real time,” reports the Associated Press. “All without a warrant.” The software from Fog Data Science, adopted this January in Nevada through a Department of Public Safety contract, pulls information from smartphone apps in order to let state investigators identify the location of mobile devices. [More]
No warrant needed and the only thing limiting usage is an agreement…?
Think how much the state could save on traffic stops if it let AI send out speeding tickets! Besides, if you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t need the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

I hope he gets a lawyer and that lying sow and her co-conspirators get what’s coming to them. I also suggest he file a complaint with the Tennessee Attorney General’s Civil Rights Enforcement Division and demand an investigation into falsifying a police report.
That said, he should have just said “I’ll speak to you through my attorney” and shut up.
And point of order: I don’t like using “Karen” any more than I do “Boomer” for reasons stated at each link.

Proposed Minnesota legislation HF 3433 (often associated with HF 3434) includes provisions that would allow law enforcement to conduct warrantless, at-will inspections of private homes to ensure compliance with storage regulations for registered “semiautomatic military-style assault weapons” (SAMSAWs)… To retain previously owned semiautomatic rifles, owners must agree to allow law enforcement to inspect their home storage at any time without a warrant.
