CEDAR RAPIDS – Police in SWAT gear busted through a door and searched a Cedar Rapids home for drugs Thursday morning, but came up empty.
At least 12 officers surprised the tenants at 1135 33rdSt. NE when they arrived around 7 a.m. with a narcotics search warrant. Sgt. Cristy Hamblin, a police spokeswoman, later confirmed that nothing was seized from the house.
No one was taken to jail, but the tenants of the house, Justin Davis, 28, and his girlfriend, Erica Lewis, 26, were charged with disorderly house and signed a promise to appear in court, police said. No one was injured during the raid.
I always try to keep my house clean and orderly in case of a raid.
What the fuck is a disorderly house..? A brothel?
In my experience the Cops usually trash the place anyway, good luck with trying to get reimbursed for the money spent fixing the front door after they've battered the fucker off it's hinges as well..

Disorderly house is described as a building or room where someone “resorted to for” illegal activity involving drugs, alcohol, gambling or prostitution, according to a city ordinance.
I'm having a little trouble parsing the definition here, but doesn't this read that "disorderly house" is still contingent on illegal activities taking place? If they didn't find any evidence of said activities... then how can they charge this?

Don't worry, don't worry. They got a three day suspension, lesson learned. Colorado pride!

NORFOLK - Police are targeting low-income neighborhoods to enforce a little-known bicycle law that's left dozens of people - even the homeless - without a way to get around.
Bicycle seizures in the city have jumped 300 percent in the past three years, according to a NewsChannel 3 analysis of police records. City law allows police to impound bicycles that do not have a city registration sticker. Officers can take the bikes from where they are parked, or from the bike riders.
Police records show dozens of bike seizures in the past three years from the city's lowest-income neighborhoods, including Park Place, Huntersville, Barraud Park and public housing. Those same records show police steer clear of the city's more affluent areas like Ghent, Larchmont/Edgewater and Lambert's Point. No bikes were seized anywhere around Old Dominion University.
James Davidson was pedaling to his South Norfolk home from Park Place when police pulled him over on Aug. 19, 2007.
"They told me that since I didn't have a license for the bike, they had to take it," Davidson said. "I haven't had a bike since."
...
No one from the city would say why police do not enforce this law in the city's middle- and upper-income neighborhoods.
It's the MiniBike! Take 'em out!

Reminds me of Bush's hilarious slideshow for the Correspondent's Dinner(?) looking for WMD's in the White House and, gosh shucks, not there either. I'll repeat my limited support for the death penalty, reserving it for government officials' corruption and war crimes.
