Richmond Church Shooting Inspires Call 4th Amendment Violation
You may recall a recent shooting in a Richmond, CA church. Three men entered the church and paced up and down the aisles with hooded sweatshirts on looking for two church going young men. Upon finding the two men they fired several shots that wounded the two men and left several bullet holes in the church interior.
In response to the shooting City Councilman Nat Bates stated “he will try to restore a long-abandoned local ordinance allowing police to randomly search vehicles for weapons and contraband. Had it still been in place, he said, the men might have thought twice about carrying a gun.”
It is amazing that people would respond to having their safety violated by further violating their rights protected under the 4th Amendment.
