Also, you should know that police are allowed to search a home without a warrant if they are in hot pursuit of a dangerous fugitive. That probably covers most of the early searches.
TA you are finally back. I've been in your neck of the woods for business a whole bunch last few months. Glad to see you are alive and well and educating the unwashed masses still

I expect a tactical squad to be able to take down one teenager without a cast of thousands. I expect that the rule of law is followed even in unusual circumstances.
Oslo didn't grind to a halt because of the murderous terrorist arsehole in Norway. I suspect neither would this city.

Not you as well. Oslo didnt grind to a halt because that particular homunculus had already made his way to Utoya, and the authorities knew that he had.

WTF America.
"The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction, the US Department of Justice says."

A crappy home made bomb is not a WMD.

Were good at legal.

Do you think i would have though? If the perp had been on the run in a suburb? I think it wouldn't have been anything like circus in Boston.
