Paul Pechonis Arrest and Warrantless Search, Massachusetts, September 29, 2005
Massachusetts State Police arrested Paul Pechonis at his home on September 29, 2005, on a misdemeanor charge; the disposition of that charge was not reported. Troopers searched the house without a warrant, and a nanny camera recorded the encounter. The recording shows several men in civilian clothing standing in the home's foyer. No court ruled on the legality of the arrest or search. Pechonis gave the recording to Mary T. Jean, who published it on her website on January 29, 2006. State Police demanded its removal in a February 14 letter, saying the recording violated Massachusetts wiretap law and could lead to felony prosecution. A later letter specified that the audio was at issue. Jean sued, and a federal judge barred State Police and the attorney general from prosecuting her for publishing it. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld that injunction on June 22, 2007. No one was charged over the recording.

Yea, I have read a lot about this. It's been an ongoing thing for awhile. Not sure if it has actually been resolved yet.

Re: Paul Pechonis Arrest and Warrantless Search, Massachusetts, September 29, 2005
A few years back, I bought a security door at an auction in Detroit. It is 2 and 1/2 inches thick, with 12 active dead bolts actuated by a high security double - face key. I also made decorative window bats, and upgraded my front entry with grade #5 hardware and a significantly strong and heavy decorative security door. Years ago, my daughter got a ticket for under age drinking. Then , I guess 4 years went by, so I get a knock on the front doot. A rookie jid-cop, and a highly agitated lady cop. She asked for my daughter, "ALEXIS",, -- It was so gratifying to yell her Alex lives in Cnneticutt. Out of habit, I went to unlock the security door, but it takes 3 full revolutions to unlock. Anyhow, this cunt must have been on her period, cuz she went to snatch door open. I just stared at her, as did her rookie partner. I wish I had- had the guys to ask her if she was on her period. The lesson ??????????????????????? My security measures are not for criminals, thay are for keeping Law Enforcement out !!
