Former Decatur, TN city police officer arrested in Athens, TN after SWAT standoff

He recovered a firearm from a wreck investigation, took a shine to it, and kept it for himself. That ain't according to law. Only reason I'm posting this is this is the most exciting thing to happen regarding Meigs county in years even though the exciting part happened in McMinn county, TN. And I know the former officer involved.

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Mike's motives are perfectly clear, that everyone should be held accountable for their actions and when a common "theft" occurs under color of law, it's more than a common theft. Stealing from the public that an officer is sworn to protect and uphold the law for is a good bit beyond a common theft. An officer on duty picked up a citizens property at an accident scene and you try to spin it to sound like a kid stealing a piece of candy at a store and anyone that thinks differently is biased against LEO's. This propensity to protect crooked cops is what causes a distrust or negative bias towards LEOs to begin with.
