Hmmm so this journalist wants us to throw out the 4th Amendment, when it's "For the children".

Im confused, the article states that the predator used to live in that same house. Does that mean someone else is living there, or is it vacant? If its vacant then the police dont have to worry about probably cause. If someone else is living there, the circumstances and past history should have been enough to get warrant nevermind probable cause.

I think the real gripe should not be against the law, but the law enforcers. It looks like the police knocked on the door, got no answer, filed the necessary paperwork, and then left to get more donuts.

And i guarantee that this whiney liberal is the type of person who thinks prisoners ought to be "Rehabilitated". With this mans past history, he should have been behind bars, or an institution with no hope of getting out of. Some people cannot be "rehabilitated"

The perp lived there until 6 months prior, and the residence was occupied until 1 month before. The question arose in that the residence was maintained, and the police erred on the side of caution. This is one time where their caution was not followed-up on.

I think that the police should be able to access the public records of the residences (and it's also in downtown, about 2 blocks away, and 2 blocks from the courthouse!) and be able to streamline the investigations to getting a search warrent.

Sadly, the local politicians will scream for more laws on the books rather than evaluate and repair the ones currently enforced.

Ditto!

First, it takes the probable cause to obtain the warrant. 2nd, if the perp from 6 months ago doesn't still reside in the house in question, you assume anyone else that takes up residence in this house is suspicious? That's downright bizzare! You occupy this dwelling so you must be guilty! Beam me up! Blackbird.
