The Raw Story | Boston cops seek invites to search homes: "Boston police will ask parents in high-crime areas to let detectives search their children's bedrooms for guns without warrants in a new anti-crime program.
Police believe parents are so worried their teenagers will be caught up in gun violence that they'll be willing to allow police into their homes. If the parents say no, the police will leave.
'They don't know what to do when faced with the problem of dealing with a teenage boy in possession of a firearm,' police Commissioner Edward Davis said of parents. We're giving them an option in that case.'
Davis announced the program Friday in a meeting with community leaders.
During the next two weeks, teams of three plainclothes officers assigned to schools will go to homes where they believe teens have guns and ask their parents or legal guardians for permission to search."
I hope that the residents of Boston have the courage to say no to these searches... Otherwise, it will not be long before this program spreads to other cities...
