Here is the story:
Washington Post: 22 heavily armed men post mannequin challenge on Facebook, much to delight of cops
So, some people posted a video of themselves posing with guns, on a property that presumably belonged to at least one of them, and the police were able to get a search warrant, conducted a raid with ATF and SWAT, breeched the door with a battering ram, and have (so far) arrested two of the men in the video.
The article - like several others I've read about this story - is vague about what search warrant was based on. (The article is explicit regarding what the two arrests were based on, but not the search warrant).
It says that Kenneth Fennell White was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
I doubt anyone here is an expert in Alabama state law, but would that also have to have been the grounds for the search warrant? In order to get the search warrant, would they have to establish that Kenneth Fennell White was a felon, and also used that home as his residence? Or just had to establish that he was ON that property while he was a felon in possession of a weapon?
Or is there some entirely other way that this video might have been used to get a search warrant?
I realize no one here probably knows the answer for certain, but maybe someone knows it better than me.
P.S. - what kind of bozo reports to prison with marijuana on his person??!
