I wish I could see the video link you posted. I'm real rural with a weak signal on a cellular modem. I am lucky to be able to surf the web 70% of the time let alone download video. I hope though I am far enough away from town in the country so no one ever sees the need to bother out here breaking in, and I am not speaking about the crooks. I lived through 4 hurricanes in 2 years and even though it was not New Orleans we were lucky enough to not have it that bad. A lot of places were residents were not allowed to return for some time but no illegal searches. Interesting to see the media has not mentioned it THIS TIME.

No looting. The National Guard coming in with shovels instead of M16s.” MMMM… Sorry that is just NOT TRUE! Strike teams" consisting of police, firemen and government employees have been breaking into houses of flood victims and threatening anyone who questions their actions in complete violation of the 4th amendment right that protects against unlawful search and seizure. No-knock home invasions are being carried out under the flimsy pretext of "checking for structural damage" and residents are being prevented from returning to their own homes whether they want to or not. A incident almost boiled over into a confrontation when one resident dared question why the "strike teams" were breaking down doors and climbing through windows of homes without even knocking first. Police Officer Josh Bell threatened the man with arrest if he didn't shut his mouth. This occurred after Cedar Rapids police chief Greg Graham promised residents over the weekend that "Law enforcement officers are not entering homes." As we clearly see in the video it is simply not true! This is another Katrina wrapped up in a different package.
