Probably they had a warrant for the studio but not the house. They were trying to convince him to let them search the house voluntarily, and threatening him that if he didn’t consent, they would come back with a warrant, search anyways, and shoot the dog.
I’m no lawyer, but that sure sounds like some form of extortion to me.
I’m no lawyer either, but I’m pretty sure the police violated SOME form of extortion laws in making that threat.
Well, dude’s a paraplegic. Shoulda told them, “I’m not going anywhere fast...get your “f-ing” warrant flatfoot!”
