Michael Craig, who authored the spectacular book The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King has an equally spectacular blog. He says, Richard Lee has not only not been convicted of anything, he hasn't been accused of anything. Yet a bunch of people came into his house without his consent and took his cars, his money, and his TV.
I thought the police were supposed to prevent that kind of abuse, not perpetrate it, and then have the nerve to brag about it.
I don't know how tall [SAPD Spokesman] Joe Rios is, or whether his nose looks like a nipple, but he came off sounding like a gigantic boob. "Now that we have the evidence, we can move forward."
Don't you need evidence before you move forward? Especially when you are going to steamroll into someone's house at night and steal their property. It sounds like the search was a fishing expedition to build a case.
In another life, Michael was a lawyer, so I'm inclined to give his legal opinions a bit more weight than, say, my commentary about the wisdom of jamming with pocket jacks against the one guy who can bust you at the final table. He goes into much greater depth in his own blog, which I encourage everyone to immediately go read, before doing anything else today. I'm serious. Get out of here.
