The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits "unreasonable searches and seizures," but this has apparently been suspended in northern California.
A team of 15 federal officers broke down a Stockton man's door at 6 AM yesterday, then arrested him, placed him in handcuffs and sat him in a patrol car for six hours while they searched his house. The man, Kenneth Wright, was put in the patrol car with his three young children. The federal SWAT team wasn't even looking for Kenneth Wright, but for his estranged wife, who wasn't on the premises.
On the surface, this would appear to be a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment. Have we become a police state?

Anything from the ACLU on this?
Not that I have any use for the ACLU, but just wondering.
I have read somewhere that not paying back student loans is an offense that law enforcement is going after these days. Apparently, these loans in default are very numerous, and often the money borrowed wasn't spent on school after all.
Are we a police state? Not yet, but we're moving closer and closer to being one. **sigh**
