I did notice this and it has made me smile whenever I think about it. Our bear!

the police are empowered to assume that a domestic violence call is "probable cause", so yes they can bust down the door without a warrant. i don't mean to excuse them, they looked confused by the...

I'm truly concerned about this kind of police state harassment coming into our local community. The Cotati police were called out to an apartment for a noise compliant by the neighbors. One of four ...
