Reefer madness

NATCHEZ, Miss. — A federal court in Mississippi ruled against two police officers who conducted a warrantless search of the home of two convenience store employees. They had probable cause to search the store for illegal marijuana, but not the home, and the deputy who led the raid is denied immunity from suit because he was “not in hot pursuit of a suspect, there were no facts to show the possibility of evidence removed or destroyed, and there were no threats” to anyone.
