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.
See video about the case on the next page:
Golden Valley can refuse to issue the rental license until the inspection is complete. No license, no renting of the unit.
I’m afraid that our rights to privacy in our homes is all but gone!
Most of these cities are run by liberal democrats/socialist that think that you as a taxpayer have no rights when it comes to them to ruling over your life!
Simple. No warrant, no search. Not even for “the good of the community.”
What part of the Constitution do they not understand yet another attempt by the left to throw out the Constitution
That is wholly against all things our founding fathers fought and died for! Who the hell are these communist bastards
This is akin to a restaurant being searched by a health inspector. You don’t want to allow the inspection, they shut your businesses down.
This is what happens when you keep voting for the lesser of two evils. Left wing, Right wing; same bird.
Come into my home with out a warrant and get shot period
Not my house
It’s known as COMMUNISM.
