A situation escalates when the police tell a man to break into his home.
Moments after arriving at the city house, Rochester Police Officer Korey McNees offered a solution for the man standing outside who wanted to retrieve items from his uncooperative girlfriend who'd earlier changed the locks:
Just break into the house, McNees said.
The law allowed it, McNees told the man time and time again in conversations outside of the Genesee Park Boulevard home and captured on police-worn body cameras. If the boyfriend lived there, then he was in his legal right to kick in a door or break a window and get his small refrigerator, air conditioning unit, and gift cards he wanted from within, the officer said.
Finally, the boyfriend, who for more than 20 minutes hesitated to follow the advice and who did not formally reside at the home, listened to McNees and smashed out a window. His former girlfriend, Catherine Bonner, responded by sticking a 9mm rifle out of the window. And now Bonner is facing criminal charges, accused of menacing a police officer in the Nov. 13 incident.
On Tuesday, May 22, state Supreme Court Justice Charles Schiano is scheduled to rule on motions from Bonner's attorney, David Pilato, who contends that evidence in the case should be suppressed because the police actions before, during, and even after Bonner's arrest were clearly unconstitutional.

'Sweep' of house results in firearms charges
Bonner did not point a gun at police, as the criminal charge contends, and a search that ensued in her home and found the rifle was illegal, Pilato maintains. Bonner is also accused of criminally possessing a weapon in violation of New York state laws, which limit how many rounds the rifle, which Bonner legally bought, can hold.

This is one strange story.
Cops advise man to break into home; woman inside house responds with a gun
On Tuesday, May 22, state Supreme Court Justice Charles Schiano is scheduled to rule on motions from Bonner's attorney, David Pilato, who contends that evidence in the case should be suppressed because the police actions before, during, and even after Bonner's arrest were clearly unconstitutional.
That video was like something that “Reno 911” would come up with.
But then so did the boyfriend. He should have just walked away from the relationship. The refrigerator and gift cards were not worth the hassle.
He broke my first rule of women; don’t move in with your girlfriend nor let them move in with you.
Always consult your handy dandy "Universal Hot/Crazy Matrix".
The trouble is too many seem to go crazy after they move in.
I wish I had that matrix years ago. I was all up in crazy and got burned three separate times. Some sheltered folks here wouldn’t even know what crazy is.
My regrets in life now includes getting married to that one. Love can make you do stupid things that you later regret & pay dearly for it.
"Finally, the boyfriend, who for more than 20 minutes hesitated to follow the advice and who did not formally reside at the home..."
Idiots.
The advice was if he lived there he could break in.
But he didn't live there. He did not follow the cop's advice.
I live here. Yeah, ghetto dwellers are that petty.
Yes, yes, we all know on FR that women are horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Luckily, I was taught not to move in with men and not to give away “the milk free”. You know why? ‘Cause men are crazy, sick and selfish, too.
Disparage women for “crazy” because, after all, men never attack women. [eye roll]
Yesterday, a male freeper suggested that the young lady who was murdered by the Columbine clone “shook her ‘salsa ass’” at him - in other words, implying that she kinda deserved it for being a tease. No evidence that she did anything like that, of course. We see more and more of this crap on FR and nothing is ever done about it.
“McNees,” “Schiano,” “Pilato.” That neighborhood doesn’t appear to be a good one for American families. I wonder if the police were taught to behave that way during a speech presented by a visiting academic feminazi. Wouldn’t be a surprise at all.

Exactly right. My current live-in is a 70-yr old guy with whom I do not have a conjugal relationship. I wish I had not allowed it to happen. And I had plenty of warning...he was homeless and sleeping on the floor of the local firehouse or else at his job where he was making $40,000/year. Not a fortune but enough to rent a room. I clearly was very stupid. I have affection for him but I wish he lived down the street. I think I need the shrink!
With a “9mm rifle” no less.

Some people become more and more attractive the longer you know them. Others turn ugly inside of 3 minutes or so.
