ok DL, I can see most of your post but what right would the officer have to prevent the property owner from leaving?
and I definately agree about the sheriff.
I still have a hard time believing or accepting the health inspector had any legal rights to trespass to inspect the property unless there was just cause. I can tell you this, that if an inspector did come on my property without permission or warrant, I would be here looking for aid to get my ass out of jail. I would not allow it until i could no longer resist it.
It is my property and you better have a good and articulatable justification to enter my property. She failed to justify her inspection. I will not accept anybody wandering willy nilly about my property without that justification.
and no, I am not a closet anarchist, merely a person that believes in the rights of the citizens of this country.
btw; I was cruising around trying to find out anything about this. I found a site that reported the property was condemned and the guy was trying to sell it for $22k (I believe the acceptable currency was gold I didn't bother to read to much in depth)
