Colorado housing officials invite cops to perform warrantless searches on poor people
“Yesterday we looked at a warrantless, mass search of Georgia high school students that was almost certainly unconstitutional, and that some students say included touching and probing of their genitals. Today, another disturbing story about what would seem to be clearly unconstitutional searches at a Colorado low-income apartment complex: The Longmont Housing Authority says it was using the homes of low-income residents to train police drug dogs. There weren’t warrants, but simply a notice that the landlord was coming, and a police officer and drug dog would be there, too.”
