Crazy to say the least. That is one of the reasons I would get a little Skiddish about going to a fairly large home game like that
Thanks for posting the blog/article
If you read the blogs you can see that on several occasions the cops played there undercover. Then after the third time they raid the place but let everyone go without doing anything? Obviously nothing illegal was going on or they would have made arrests. Surely after three visits they should be able to tell whether the game was illegal or legal. The fact that the cops said it could be robbers busting in on your instead of us is indicative of their knowledge that they were wrong and wanting to scare the players.
I would love to see the justification for the raid and search. If there wasn't false allegations in the search warrant I would be surprised. In fact, if the undercover officers did visit three times and found no criminal activity and then massaged the facts there is a potential lawsuit here (I used to be a lawyer).
