The re-wrote the store then. The original one stated that it was.


What is a school doing with a SWAT team? Seem a little excessive to me for "student loan fraud" and the like?

Related to one of these:

OIG is a semi-independent branch of the education department that executes warrants for criminal offenses such as student aid fraud, embezzlement of federal aid and bribery, according to Hamilton. The agency serves 30 to 35 search warrants a year.

Yeah, I'm not agreeing with it but at least its not over student loans.

Police kick in doors for drugs, too.

Welcome to the beautiful country of United Police States. Formerly the greatest country in the world. How we have perverted the founding fathers vision.

There are two problems here:

1) A Swat team is absolutely not necessary when executing a search warrant for a non-violent offender.

2) Since I have no criminal record with no expectation of police coming to my home, I would consider people braking down my door in the middle of the night as intruders and likely people would be shot in the process.

If claymores were legal...I'd set one up at my front door with a drop switch. There is no excuse for kicking down doors. I can't wait til they accidently kill a Congressman or a Federal Judge, then they will change their "laws".
