When the police told the man, that he "looked guilty" by requesting they get a warrent to seach his home, they did something wrong. Period. End of story.

When the idiot in CPS saw the picture and decided that this was evidence of possible abuse, she did somethign wrong. Period. End of story.

It's like you start a thread "Man murdered with girl scout cookies"....and then we find out he accidentally ate peanuts and died of an accidental allergic reaction.

The thread has some items to be upset about, the hyperbole however wrecks credibility.
All I did was quote the article.

I said -

This is so sad. No warrant, and they want to do what?

So it looks scary? THAT'S the reason? Jeez, that means all bald headed, big muscled people should be arrested, because they look big and scary! Seriously, this is really going too far!

They had no right to even be there. AND, to threaten to take away his kids?
Nowhere did I specifically state other than quoting others, what you have ascribed to me. Even the TITLE of the thread was a copy and paste.

The police DID attempt to enter the house without a warrant, and the man stood up for his rights. I however used no hyperbole.

Hate to tell you guys, that is no 22 caliber long rifle, rifle. Look at the mag and look at the breach. That is the same mag. my daughters browning 223 has. So yes, it is a 22, but it is a 223

But that is besides the point here. Any caliber up to .50, is perfectly legal to own, without the kings permission.

Any caliber is legal to own, there is no limit.

No, anything over .50 cal is classified as a cannon. You must buy the same permit as you do for fully auto weapons.

A 12 gauge slug, is .50

A 12 gauge is .73 caliber. A 28 gauge shotgun is .55 caliber.

I'm surprised the cops didn't murder the family. In self defense of course.

The barrel does have that bore. But if you fire that big of a slug, up would damage the barrel from stress. the barrel wall thickness on shot guns are thinner than rifles and hand guns.
The slug inside the shell by law can be no bigger than .50, with packing and the plastic casing.

It is not a good idea to shoot slugs all the time, they cause a lot of wear.

a 20 gauge slug is .44 Remington and .46 Federal

I wonder if a warrentless search allows the searchers to be proctected from civil and criminal actions?
It does not.

I always said, if you make a false charges on someone, they chould be charged for it, and the max penalty be, the same max penalty of the false crime claimed.

Example, girl falsely claims a guy raped her, her max penatly should be the same as the max penalty for rape.
