Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Doing some quick math, the plaintiffs should get about $14000 each(on average) after attorney's fees. This money should come out of the former police chief's personal funds.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

It's funny you mention this because I was wondering the same thing. In the moments following the bombing I found myself alone in questioning the reach of LE in their search for the perps. Constitutionally protected rights aren't protected when things are going fine and stress levels are low. There's time to make the proper decision then. The Constitution represents the bare minimum of rights so that in times of stress and anxiety the line is clear and it was crossed that day blatantly and numerous times in the name of safety and it didn't seem like too many people gave a shit. Pretty scary precedent to set IMO.

So are you saying that you think this was good, or a bad idea that these folks sued?
I'm saying it happened.

I'd be interested in Foxtrot and others reply on at what point "rights" become "conveniences to be ignored".

It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged. - The Cleveland Press, March 1, 1921, GK Chesterton
Unlawfully detaining citizens to catch a bank robber that has already fled the scene is absolutely retarded and unethical. Stealing money, money that is federally insured as well, does not in its self justify throwing citizens rights out the window. If the money had a GPS tracker in it then what is the rush in trying to detain the knuckle head in a large group of people. Send an unmarked car after the money GPS signal and wait until they segregate themselves from others so there is no need to figure out who the robber is.
The police trying to wrangle up the robber in this fashion significantly increased the risk of citizens getting hurt or killed if a fire fight broke out. Luckily a fire fight didn't happen but if it had it would have been a very bad situation.
This Aurora bank robber situation is obviously not a good situation, but the Boston City lock down and rights violations make this Aurora thing look like a drop in the bucket. I understand that law enforcement wants to get the bad guys but if they do so by breaking the very laws and rights they have sworn to uphold then what is the point of having law enforcement?

So what you're saying is that you'll trade your constitutional rights for cash?
