police raid at newspaper office

So basically this raid was over potential liquor license infraction and “identify theft” because the newspaper allegedly has driver’s license info related to an old drunk driving charge, info supplied to the newspaper from outside sources. Apparently the newspaper even notified the PD about this info beforehand, for what and why who knows, but certainly the newspaper or reporter paper didn’t disseminate it.

Can’t see how having transcribed personal info relates to identity theft when there was not theft or misuse of that identity. Can anyone obtain police reporting information regarding .…yes, and in most cases nothing is ever redacted, even insurance companies, attorneys have this access.

This probably has some personal implications rather than just an overzealous or misinformed local LE agency. Maybe more will come out when the matter goes before the prosecutor.

Raiding a newspaper, exposing confidential sources, sorting through personal effects beyond the scope of the warrant, and denying attorney-client privileges are not just for former elected commander-in-chief.
Has the third world order arrived in small town America?
 
The media thinks of themselves as the organ that holds public entities accountable. But who holds the fifth estate accountable? In their arrogance they believe they are above scrutiny and accountability and most officials are afraid to hold them accountable even though they are as biased and corrupt as can be. If they broke the law, screw them. I would not trust a so-called journalist as far as I can throw their satellite truck. We shall see how this plays out in the courts.
 
I grew up in an adjacent county (long time ago) and I can assure you this type of intimidation and twisting the law or just disregarding it altogether isn't something new. This is pretty much SOP sad to say. It's why I didn't return to "the old stomping grounds" when I retired.
