Attorney: Draconian gun laws put NJ man in prison for 35 days
Yes it's from 2013. Yes, it's just more evidence of racism.
Tell me again, why we should eschew guns and rely on law enforcement.

Pantaleon said the officers knew the charges were false.
“I heard these two cops speaking to each other a couple doors down from me, when I was in lockup at the West District. A couple hours after they pulled me out of my home and threw me into the cage in their precinct … one of them said, ‘I know these charges are BS, but this is what you have to do if you want to be a cop-cop.’”

“Here, the police conduct and entering Defendant’s apartment, without a warrant, and without satisfying an exception to the warrant requirement, violated Defendant’s federal and state constitutional rights. As a result, all evidence seized as a result of the Officers’ warrantless entry and search of Defendant’s apartment must be suppressed.”
The Court found that the officers’ testimony “simply did not have a ring of truthfulness to it.”
The Court struck down every exemption to the warrant requirement that the State contended --
The Court struck down “emergency aid,” ...
The Court struck down “exigency,” ...
The Court found that Pantaleon never consented to a search of his apartment, and that the landlord did not have authority to allow officers entry into Pantaleon’s apartment.
Lastly, the Court struck down the State’s contention that “plain view” applied, as the Officers were not in a permissible vantage point to view Pantaleon in the first instance, and that, even if they had been, nothing was “’immediately apparent’ to the Officer that was contraband or evidence of a crime.
Furthermore, an Officer inexcusably moved an item in Pantaleon’s bedroom in order to better view what was inside.
