A major decision that will impact Minnesotans’ privacy rights is waiting to be heard in the state’s court of Appeals.
It all started off simply enough. Jason and Jackie Wiebesick were a Golden Valley couple who lived in a duplex. One day, officials from the city approached them to ask permission to inspect their home. The stated reason was to collect information so as to make a decision over whether to renew the Wiebesick’s rental license.
Disturbed by the prospect of unfamiliar people walking around their home, the Wiebesick’s turned down the inspectors’ request. One might think it would have ended there, but the city saw to it that it didn’t.
Taking the case to court, Golden Valley authorities implored a county judge to issue a warrant overriding the Wiebesick’s objections and allowing them into the house. Tellingly, the judge refused their request for a warrant, prompting the city to reach even higher.

The Patriot act says they can.
Nope, nope, nope…tell them to$#%&!@*off and hire a Constitutional lawyer
Go inspect a mosque you bastards.
Wait a second. Who gave the city the right to steal their right to rent by issuance of a license to do so in the first place? That’s where this needs to go.
welcome to obama’s America …..
I am wondering why the city did not deny the renewal of the rental license.
That would have called the meeting to order.
They need to nip that sheeet in the bud
The fourth Amendment. Is being violated. I would sue.

8 years of lawlessness and not going by the rules has a trickle down effect. If the president doesn’t enforce laws, nobody will.
