Warrant for Red Flag accuser

[FoxtArt]

I could have phrased it better, but point being it would be nice if the news could report how the situation ACTUALLY is (or would be, with other people) than to give people a false impression that this sort of thing will be addressed.

You should know as well as I do that people's bullshit attestations are almost never prosecuted... even when they openly admit it on filing documents. The court's perception is it's too busy/too overworked. The only cases I've really ever seen get charged are simply because something is being looked at (news), so a court wants to make a show of it to maintain the public perception. [I'm even aware of a federal statute that prevents criminal charges for forging federal forms during civil proceedings, not shitting....]

And LEO protecting service on other law enforcement officers - esp in small counties - is a real thing. I've encountered it myself, and I've been hired more than once to due difficult process services in the past where county Sheriff's are trying to "protect" someone from service. Now, that's not a blanket thing - wherever you worked, it might not have been. And it's not necessarily an issue of the individual LEO, but more a bullshit attitude by individual Sheriff(s) in some places.

But it is a thing, in some places, and you don't know it's a "thing" until someone's attempting service on a LEO. (even as a witness, mind you). That's why I don't particularily care for the Sheriff "not serving" it on his brother-inblue - even if it is bullshit - because I think it's important for the public to know that this kind of manipulated red-flag crap WOULD be served on anybody else, unless the Sheriff knows you personally and it makes the news... in this case, apparently.

I don't like the false perception this creates that there's any ramification if neighbor Karen makes an anonymous false filing to get a RPO against neighbor, Bob. I'd much rather the news be able to report how it'll go down for all those non-LEO who will follow this gentleman.
