My question involves civil rights in the State of: Texas
Incident Summary:
On November 23rd 2011 Channel 8 News and the Tarrant County Constable showed up to Mr. (n/a) current home. Mrs. (n/a) and their five children were at home and Mr. (n/a) was at work. The constable barged in the house, asked Mrs. (n/a)if they had weapons in the home, she advised them they don’t carry weapons. The Constable and Deputies began to search the home after invited in by Mrs. (n/a) with NO warrant. They began to ask Mrs. (n/a) again if they are carrying any weapons. Constable Clint Burgess told Mrs. (n/a) she needs to leave the property immediately or they will be arrested.
Mr. (n/a) rushes home to get to his family. Constable Clint Burgess told Mr. (n/a) he needs to leave the property and all of their belongings. They were only allowed to pack a few clothes and prescriptions. Constable Clint Burgess then told Mr. (n/a) that if he had not did Adverse Possession in Mansfield, he might have gotten away with it, and if they did not leave immediately they will be arrested. He gave him a forbiddance document with no signature of the owner or a court approval. To bring an end to the situation Mr. and Mrs. (n/a) packed a small amount of clothes, left everything else behind, including Thanksgiving dinner and left their home. The Constable took the keys to their home said they well call them back. Channel 8 News displayed Mr. (n/a) as criminal on national television, to top that, the Tarrant County Constable Clint Burgess violating Mr. LaTour’s 4th amendment right and threw his family out on the street the day before thanksgiving.
Not only did the media call Mr. LaTour a criminal on national television they put his family in a position that they cannot get out of. Being illegally labeled as a criminal trespasser, Mr. (n/a) he may not have a job to come Monday morning. He may not be able to give his children a Christmas at all and they may have ruined his opportunity to provide for his family in this hard economy, with a faulty notice of forbiddance to a property his family has been living in for 6 months.
When Mr. (n/a) asked, “Who is pressing charges against me?” the constable could not answer him. They ripped away his 4th amendment constitutional right:
“ The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
With no questions asked! Is this the constitution our ancestors fought for?
