Pre-crime update
More on the Oregon man who was raided by two SWAT teams and had his guns taken because he bought guns after losing his job. Good news is he got his guns back. And is likely going to sue. Bad news, of course, is that it happened in the first place.

I think I’m with that one lawyer. Put all the kidnapers in jail. All of them. All he SWAT,PD’s,Deputies, all of them.
Won’t happen, but if they keep pushing, they’re going to end up getting a much harsher sentence.

If I was a tax payer for that area I’d be pissed. How much money did all of those police agencies waste? I think someone should be held accountable. Someone made the call to go there.
What about this mental health loophole? Sounds like a perfect supreme court 4th amendment case.
Here is a what if scenario.
If he didn’t give up and the swat team charged in and killed him what happens? The cops proudly say they prevented a violent criminal.
If he lives through the assault… the cops say they prevented a violent criminal until they get sued big time by the guy they illegally besieged. this might start the unofficial double tap policy in the future.
What if the guy after talking to the police negotiator called every news agency in his area?
