I wonder if the police had probable cause to search the premises as he told him that he owned guns? Truck and home? Why were these taken from him as he did not have these on him and stated to the officers that he did not brandish the weapons at any time? What about trespassing by his neighbors and maybe they threatened him? Where these evidence?? Did the neighbors describe the guns in detail?
I wonder if a PO/or lawyer on this site could ex-plain the law that he broke?
If this happened the way the story tells the neighbors came to his home and he was in his house, and did not go out on his lawn and threatened them. There is no telling what type of people they are and he may have felled threatened by them coming to his house.
Did they have proof he put the poop by their home?
They must have known it was him, since their dog poops on his yard, but this is not evidence.
It is their word against his that he had a gun and threatened them. Maybe they had a weapon?
It is worrisome that if your neighbor knows you have guns and does not like you, that he could just allege that you did something with no proof and the police comes and takes your guns. Judge and jury, guilty as charged by your neighbor.
I am not blaming the police as they had reason to do what they did and meet these people, but I don't see the legality of taking his guns as they had no proof that these were ever used.
Please enlighten me.
My idea is that he should of reported every incident with the dog to the proper authorities, in Oklahoma there is a law against this type of behavior, and record it on video. If they came to his home take a video of it (phone or camera) and what happened, and told them to get off of his property or he would call the police. Close the door and call the police. They usually believe the first person to call to have been the victim as in this case.
