Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sheriff's deputy tried to serve two masters....

That's not the order in which it happened.

I wonder what the probable cause for the warrant was?

This is the God's honest truth, they're human debris... Turds...
Years ago, before I retired from AT&T, I had a 1% order me to hook him up with a DSL line for free.
I walked away from him and left. Small town... I was the only phoneman and was well known. Saw him
around town and ignored him until he came by my home one weekend. I went by his home(trailer) the
following Monday. He wasn't home but his neighbor came over to talk to me. Told the neighbor to let him know
that if he didn't leave me alone I'd kill him. And he'd better not come to my home again. I was pissed and I knew the neighbor
well enough and he agreed that the 1% was a burned out idiot that only understood violence. The neighbor talked to him and
I never heard anything else about it. The 1% vanished some time later like most burned out bikers do.
I haven't thought about that guy for a long time. Kinda pisses me off thinking about that turd all these years later.

Did you read the story?

The only PC they had was the "unregistered" firearm. In all of the free States an unloaded gun is a paperweight and there is no registration. Leave it to California to screw up a guys life over a paperweight in 40 other States.

kwg

That might be the saddest part of the whole story, guy was living in twenty nine palms...what a ṣ̌hithole. No wonder he turned to an outlaw motorcycle gang.

did you read the story?


Taken into custody on Mar 23, investigation started in Jan. Might be, besides a member of a LE organization associating with a known criminal organization, they found other PC, even before the weapons charges, to get warrants???

Might get interesting for him while in the joynt.
Jail time does not sound fun. Absolutely does not
sound like fun going in as a cop AND a douche bag biker. 😂
Dude is [bleep], literally.

So they arrested him, searched him and his belongings, found the unregistered firearm, and then used the unregistered firearm as the justification for the arrest and to obtain a search warrant.

Nothing about that seems to be missing and/or out of the order of the legal process to you?

Do you know the results of the investigation that started in Jan?

It just might be, maybe just maybe, that as a result of the investigation they then knew they had cause to stop him, in March, when riding with his buddies, and during the stop found the weapons?

Notice they don't point out when the warrant was served? Might it be they served it when they were stopping him and his friends, as they just may have known about the cache of firearms and didn't want to get involved in a shootout? (it's the way these things go down according to some I know)

Without going back a page to reread the story, I thought I saw he was up on multiple felony charges, probably not just the charges for the weapons he was carrying.

Going off of the snippet you pointed to.

"Christopher Bingham, 45, was taken into custody after he was caught riding with two other members of a motorcycle gang on March 23. He's an 18-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department. When the authorities arrested him, they found an unloaded and unregistered firearm.
.

As a result, investigators with the Gangs/Narcotics Division obtained a search warrant for Bingham's home in Twentynine Palms, California, following his arrest."

Which goes::

They arrested him, searched him and his belongings, found the unregistered firearm,

ENTER THE PHRASE "AS A RESULT"

and then used the unregistered firearm as the justification for the arrest and to obtain a search warrant.

Yes, the PC for the stop was likely the result of the investigation and likely the fact he was riding with members of a known criminal organization. Upon stopping him, for that PC, they discovered the weapons leading to the arrest and therefor had even more evidence to get a warrant.

Given he's an LEO, very unlikely his civil rights were violated as he also likely had a clause in his contract to not associate with known criminals. Cops I've known would not risk their jobs over such foolishness.

Except thats not how the article states it.

They might have done everything honestly, but this is the SO that obfuscated and stonewalled the release of info for over a year concerning it's deputies killing a hostage.

I think the cop was an undercover asset. This is how they got him out to prevent assassination at a later date. Maybe.

Story smells fishy.

Shocker

Yes, and the article was a new article and only can print what they are told, or perhaps what their editor determines they have space for.

We certainly don't know all, and I don't claim to. I'm just not worried that this dude had any civil rights violated, and if he did it will hopefully come out in court.

Or, as two dogs said, he's caught up in an undercover deal......................or he's an undercover agent that wend rogue and saw an opportunity to make bank on some weapons deals.

Given who the SO is, they might even be on their toes to not have another situation go bad to further spoil their reputation.

Until the mention of the automatic weapon with a grenade launcher, I didn't see anywhere that they had probable cause, or that he had committed any crimes.

The People's Republic of California apparently were unnerved that he was riding with a motorcycle gang. I guess that constitutes probable cause there.

I'll take Florida, Thank you.

Only one of his gangs had immunity from prosecution.

He made $288,000 in 2022, that sounds like pretty good money for being a deputy,

The hostage shooting video just came out in the last few weeks and they started going after this guy in January.

Maybe he wouldn't go along with the cover up and this is their way of retaliating against the only honest deputy working there?
