This is epic level bogus as hell to me. How can that be allowed?
Dodger- any thoughts on this? This seems completely abnormal to me, but this is your area.
The whole things is strange to me. Just looking at the video you can tell the whole thing was staged and the reporter had done a previous walk through. It's not the responsibility of LE to secure a location after a warrant and I am surprised the home owner wouldn't secure it after the raid, as they would be notified or at least have some notification that the enforcement action was taken. They left a property receipt on the premises or at least an inventory on the warrant and I'd be curious what's on it but the reporter didn't go into any detail.
What strikes me is that some of the chemicals weren't taken, if I understood the reporter. The scale should have also been taken as evidence. I can see why they left the Koran, as any evidence would either have to be returned or burned once the case is over and I can see why some slug supervisor may not take it.
The whole thing is odd to me and the reality is that no one trusts Federal law enforcement any longer which leads to these questions.
