I had something similar happen to me once. The police claimed to have seen a "girl in distress" when they knocked on the door of a house party and spoke to the host. They came back 15 minutes later with an EMT and forced entry. They arrested me (paraphernalia and possession charges -- though none of it was actually mine). I was released that night on my own recognizance, they kept my clothing "as evidence," and I had to walk to a friends (3/4 of a mile) wearing only my boxers in December. The charges were later dropped.

I was targeted that night because the sergeant on duty had a real thing against my brother, but my brother had left town a couple of years prior after joining the Army, and so he directed his bullshit at me. This was back in the '90s in a small rural area in Ohio. A place very similar to where Afroman lives today, in fact only a couple of counties away.

I wonder if the ‘2 counties away’ makes it the same county as that which audits the botched raid in the article.

What county audited the Adams County Sheriff? I've only seen Hamilton County and Adams County pop up in this story.

edit/ Oh, I see. It was Clermont County. Nope, not it. I don't want to place my younger self with pinpoint accuracy here but I grew up in southern/southeastern Ohio.

Sorry, I didn’t think of that aspect.

It would have been an interesting aside, but it wasn’t to be.

Wow. That’s nuts.

The law is like a piece of really stinkingly bad code. There's even a StackOverflow for law: https://law.stackexchange.com/ perhaps officials should check it out some time.
