Sheriff: Inmate’s filing of red flag petition shows issues with law

Quote
Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams has been one of the most vocal critics against red flag laws since Colorado legislators started considering one in 2019.

When he learned an inmate in the Weld County Jail used the law to ask a judge to remove weapons from Reams and a unit in the jail, he was frustrated to see it being abused in the ways against which he warned.

On Feb. 25, Weld District Chief Judge James Hartmann reviewed and denied a temporary extreme risk protection order filed by an inmate of the jail. Reams learned of the petition later that day, when Hartmann forwarded him the dismissal. The inmate will not be named at the request of Reams due to a concern the inmate is seeking notoriety through frivolous complaints.

Deputies “carry shotguns inside the jail intimidating and excessively abusing inmates with these shotguns,” the inmate wrote in the complaint. “These deputys (sic) carry these deadly weapons 24 hours a day patrolling the floors of this jail intimidating and threatening people for the most minor things.”

The “shotguns” the inmate referenced are actually less-than-lethal weapons used by a specialized team of deputies in the jail for situations with enhanced security risks. ...

I guess it takes a hoplophobe not to foresee frivolous petitions like this being a predictable result. Nor to foresee that there are some judges who would gladly monkey-wrench police operations by granting such a frivolous petition.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

"Swatting," version 2.0.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

@Cyber Liberty  Didn't someone here at one point try and convince us that Red Flag laws and emergency protective orders wouldn't be abused or used in any way other than they were intended?  This is twice now in Colorado where those laws have been grossly abused.

How many more times have there been that the media hasn't reported on?
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I seem to recall somewhere that came up.  I distinctly recalled the words, "paranoid" and "potential cop-killers" being applied to non-adherents of that belief system.

Criminals would never try to abuse something like this, and no one with a grudge would ever use it against an ex spouse/significant other.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
