Bust in NC - small still, not selling

[LuckyAddaam]

I hate to anyone go down for this. Especially someone in the same state as I.

I was wondering why we hadn't heard frm ol' dunderhead for a while...

Hopefully someone in this forum who lives in the area will keep us advised of what they do to the old man when (if) he goes to court. If there is any sanity left in the country the DA and judge will let him go with only a small fine. I suspect the ATF want nothing to do with this case.

This is just sensationalistic news reporting, only meant to entice readers to keep reading their podunk newspaper. I have no fear of any vice squad coming to bust me (famous last words, right?). Seriously, without a warrant which specifies EXACTLY what they are looking for, ATF ain't comin in.

They are obliged to follow all tip-offs. Thus, 'Months of Intensive Investigation', pays off no matter how small.

Your greatest danger is a tip-off.

ALL of our greatest danger is going to be these drones: http://www.infowars.com/drones-shot-down-over-texas-video-goes-viral/
(Sorry, I saw this with the dudes shooting the drones down and needed to share!)

Though I believe the admissability of arial evidence is in question due to the case of Dow Chemical v. US. http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=2807189437219807369&hl=en&as_sdt=2,29

A tip-off still needs an affidavit before a warrant is issued, which most peeps(i.e. your neighbors) don't want to sign their name to. Even then, a warrant needs to expressly specify with exacting certain terms what the agents are looking for and can confiscate. If the specifications of the warrant are not exact, there tends to be grounds for the case to be dismissed. But, of course, the damage is done by then to the stiller (i.e. his equipment is gone or damaged, as is his reputation).
