This is story is wild: a police department raided the Marion County Record in retaliation because one of the reporters viewed information on an influential person; there was no affidavit filed to obtain the search warrant, and several elderly people were put under undue stress and endangered, and in fact one, Joan Meyer, has died.
The cops are now "withdrawing the warrant"--after disrupting the paper's operation, costing them money, and with the stress causing the death of one of the co-owners, now they go, "oopsies, here's your shit, no harm done"?
The paper is bringing a federal suit and GOOD FOR THEM.
The affidavits that are the basis for the warrant to search and seize at the #MarionCountyRecord? Those weren't filed until days later, and are likely back-dated to the day of the raid, because #ACAB and corrupt judge.
"This looks like the latest example of American law enforcement officers treating the press in a manner previously associated with authoritarian regimes,"
