That a county judge denied city authorities a warrant indicates the shaky grounds on which they’re operating, but that hasn’t stopped them from taking the case to an appeals court. If the court rules in their favor, the door will be opened to government officials forcing citizens to open their doors to them even without express authorization by a court.
“After the Wiebesicks refused access, the city asked a Hennepin County judge for an administrative warrant. Judge Susan Robiner denied the request. Golden Valley now hopes the Minnesota Court of Appeals will affirm its ordinance and grant the inspection when they hear the case this spring.
‘What’s at stake is a simple matter of making sure we have safe housing that meets minimal standards,’ Golden Valley Fire Chief John Crelly said.
Chief Crelly says inspections are needed to assure the safety of all tenants as inspections search for fire hazards and other code violations. He says the city will normally give 48 hours of notice.
‘In general, there are no unannounced inspections,’ Crelly said.
But the Wieiebeseck’s say such inspections are unreasonable, because the city provides on evidence of any prior wrongdoing as basis for the administrative warrant.
‘What we’re trying to reaffirm is the old rights that the government cannot pass the threshold unless it has a good reason,’ Sanders said.”

No warrant, pass off.
I live though the similar bs by the Washington Bartlesville Oklahoma Drug addict task force, Robbie Melton, Eddie Virden and Frederic Esser. ILLEGAL raid hoping to find something to supply theirs and a couple of judges drug habits.
no warrant no search unless I want to let you by law anything they found should be inadmissible to use against them unless they allowed it
They do this in Turkey
so i guess that means we as citizen’s can walk into and check out any politicians home or office atleast in minnesota.
What the city wants to do is invade the privacy of residents. Being able to come and go at will in peoples residences is and should continue to be, against the law.
Just say no. There are legal requirements they must meet.
Nope! You will have to shoot me before you get access without a warrant. What the city is suggesting is illegal trespassing.
So stupid, why is this bull? You run your mouth but no evidence.
As an armed and competent citizen living in the sovereign State of Texas, I can assure you that I will not be the one shot if anyone tries to enter my castle without a warrant. I live in unincorporated Hunt County where there are no inspectors, no building codes and no BS. Permits are needed for septic systems, wells and building anything in a flood zone, but that is about it. My neighbor felt that those requirements were “big government”, “nanny state” rules, so she lives off grid without any of these privileges in a shipping container and a walled stack of earth-filled tires covered in stucco. More power to her.
