Berwyn Heights Mayor Follow-up 1

So, remember that whole thing I introduced about the 32-pound box of marijuana and the police raid of the mayor of Berwyn Heights home where they killed the dogs [clicky]?

Well, get this (and guess what?):

Pr. George's Officers Lacked 'No-Knock' Warrant in Raid
Authorities, Who Broke Down Door During Search for Drugs at Home of Berwyn Heights Mayor, Had Said They Obtained Document

"...a review of the warrant indicates that police neither sought nor received permission from Circuit Court Judge Albert W. Northrup to enter without knocking. Northrup found probable cause to suspect that drugs might be in the house and granted police a standard search warrant.

"Another issue that could arise in court is whether officers provided Calvo a copy of the warrant at the time of the raid, as required by law. Maloney said they did not, even though a detective signed a sworn statement to the judge indicating that he had. Instead, the detective brought the warrant to Calvo several days later, Maloney said."

Maybe Calvo should deliver the PG County police and sherrifs department a copy of the Constitution.
