The KSHB 41 I-Team obtained three affidavits in relation to the raids on Marion County Record, the newspaper owner’s home and the city vice mayor’s home.

The affidavits, provided by the attorney for the newspaper, lay out what evidence police used to get a judge to sign off on the warrant to search the properties.

    Anyone who’s spent time as the focus of the police or around our court system is aware of what a joke search warrants are. The police just need to claim they have a confidential informant who saw something. That’s sadly enough in most of the country. Funny, the CI is nowhere to be found when they don’t find anything on the search and it’s the warrants credibility is questioned by someone with enough money to have a lawyer investigate. Then if they do find something someone who needs a minor charge to disappear definitely saw whatever needed to be seen for the warrant. It’s insanely corrupt. The unreasonable search and seizure part of the US constitution is violated hundreds of times a day.
