good lord. that is completely fubar.
Quote:
According to the lawsuit, Mahaffey also said city manager Ken Bassett dismissed his concerns, saying he was "overly sensitive" and that police were just trying to protect the public from illegal use of prescription drugs.
Bassett, the lawsuit says, also told Mahaffey that his own parents had recently died and he wouldn't have cared had police searched their house for drugs.

the premise for the search was presumably to seize the prescription drugs left over from the recently deceased. hm. maybe there's a legitimate line of thought there. but the implementation in this case is absolutely beyond the pale. I hope the transgressors, apparently the police and the city manager are prosecuted, found guilty, and receive the harshest possible punishment. What a wasteful misuse of our public resources.
