The SCOTUS issued an opinion today protecting the sanctity of the Fourth Amendment protections of the home, which also served as an anti-red-flag ruling, restricting the police from performing warrantless searches of homes to seize firearms. This is just in time for recent updates on two of our search and seizure cases with the same or similar issues: the Putnam County drug task force search case and the WV Family Court Judge Search case.

PS: I’ve had to downsize the live videos for the season due to being so busy, to just Monday evenings at 7pm. Just way too much going on at the moment! Make sure to join me next Monday…..
I've seen cop trainers worrying about "losing community care taking." It's not supposed to be a tool to use to wedge a loophole that allows cops to abuse our rights. Well, they abused it and I hope it's gone for good.
Keep going after these jerks ! That’s the way to go after change! I absolutely LOVE what you do!
Absolutely!! It’s outrageous about the family court judges – do NOT have the authority to search someone’s house!!
Oh, trained liars always lie.
Policing scholars ,WHAT?
Cops as rule of thumb automatically says stop resisting,even when a person is dead they’ll still say this crap.
They deliberately murdered him.
Cops don’t know how to tell the truth.
Cops are not do gooders.
Never. Request a welfare check, he will be dead.
I’m glad you get to do other activities to take down your stress.
Just love how the respond to suicide calls. They came to my house with swat when someone called for me being suicidal
The fact that this was a "UNANIMOUS" ruling from the Supreme Court should give pause to any state legislature which attempts to further enact or strengthen existing Red Flag laws.
Seizure of a firearm under Red Flag laws are adjudicated by a Judge! Stop fearmongering about red flag laws. Individuals have to PROVE a person is a danger to themselves or someone else prior to seizure of firearm. Additionally, the person CAN get their seized firearm returned.
I'm sorry but were you serious when you said Clarence Thomas is the greatest Justice on the Supreme Court because if that's the case I really have to disagree with you
The 8th Circuit Court made a bad decision a man died and is not excessive force makes no sense.
Cops are trained to holler "stop resisting". They are hoping there is no video. Just like they holler "show me your hands" when the video clearly shows the hands being held out in plain view. Never take the officer's word for anything. Too many are proving to be untrustworthy.
Keep up the good work John! You're an inspiration to citizens that love our constitution and see it slowly getting chipped away!
Love what you do !!!
What kind of Whiskey are you drinking? I would like to see a show about your Favorite Whiskey’s too.
That's should be rules of laws
Why not governments officials laws should be rightfully for both right
Citizen does that and it's murder

You should check out Susan Bassi in California on YouTube. She has been hounding private judges and lawyers having secret meetings/trials covering divorce and other legalities. It happens all.over.
Clarence Thomas is the greatest justice? Is this your opinion or some hierarchical term? Clarence Thomas is trying to make all birth control illegal. Not like we all wouldn't love Mr. Thomas at the foot of our bed keeping score, I'm just saying.
I'm confused. If the wife lived there too, isn't asking them to do the welfare check and go to the home of her and her husband, permission? I never stand on the cop side, this is a legitimate question.
