I thought nobody could find the affidavit. Did that show up?
It finally did yeah. Seemed to have been filed a bit late. Chief of police wrote it himself. He’s also the one who assaulted one of the reporters personally, turns out. He’ll have no qualified immunity.
Wait, cops assaulting people without cause is not an official act? /s
It was filed with the application for the warrant. The judge wouldn’t have granted the warrant without one.
