Officers got a search warrant for plaintiff’s property to search for a person missing since 1997. They drilled holes in plaintiff’s concrete garage floor, and a cadaver dog allegedly alerted. They emptied the garage and started digging. They piled dirt on plaintiff’s belongings considering it “junk.” Their digging down 15' undermined the structure, and they supported it on their own. They found nothing and left, and they felt unobliged to do anything to restore the condition of the property. Ground water from rain created a pond in plaintiff’s garage. *Why should the feel obliged? They're "Only Ones," and based on results, were following established department protocols.
You people and your "rights"...
You can see photos of the damage here and here. I'm sure if you did this to Dwayne Wenninger's house, he'd be taking things in stride...
*NOTE: I've removed the link to the main story paragraph--it generates an obnoxious 403 anti-spam msg, and apparently the folks who run the website don't want referred traffic. Interesting readership-building model. Fine by me, I get nothing by sending readers their way.
