A squad of heavilly armed cops raided a Long Island home Wednesday and removed a man, possibly for questioning in connection with the cold-blooded murders of four people in a pharmacy.








The still unidentified man was hauled out of the Medford, L.I., home by police officers who had massed in front of the residence before barging inside.

Bad raid!!



They should have sent the volunteer community officer up there to ring his doorbell and asked if he had killed several poeple. If he answered yes then they should have raided.



Damn cops don't do any cop work anymore, they just want to play with their toys.

Couple comments.

1) Arrest warrant, not a search warrant.
2) Murder
3) The murders came about because of a drug robbery. Legal drugs.

This.  There is a big difference between a no knock raid to execute a search warrant and a no knock raid to execute an arrest warrant for a murder suspect.

A bunch of folks in body armor, but nothing clearly identifying them as the police (we will ignore the badge). Obviously fake cops.

Shouldn't they just have sent a Detective and a Uniform to knock on his door for 5 minutes loudly announcing they were the police after running every tone on the siren box for an hour, after calling ahead to the resisdence to inform them they would be doing all that?

Incorrect. The drugs are legal with written permission of a physician, provided that the person requesting the drugs has complied with the law in making his request and has consensually obtained them from a government-approved vendor. Otherwise, and certainly for this robber, they were illegal. In Florida, you can do 30 years in prison for possession of a couple of weeks' worth of Vicodin if they are illegal because not obtained through the proper channels. Whatever point you hoped to make by the claim that the drugs in question were legal fails because you are wrong on the facts.

Tell us about a drug robbery for Tylenol or Benadryl if you wish to make a connection between drugs and crime unconnected to prohibition.

Agreed. Im far from a police apologist, however, it's important that those of us with legitimate concerns on these matters point out examples of appropriate use of no-knocks so as to provide contrast to inapropriate use.

They are still legal drugs. Guns are legal but not to a felon.

The point I was making was that just because the gov says some drugs are good, changes nothing. There's a "war on drugs" because "drugs kill" and "drugs are destroying blah blah" but only on a small handful of types of drugs.

Why so defensive....

No arrest warrant has been issued.

He was arrested on probable cause.

If it were the cop's would not be able to talk to the suspect.

But all of the ARF legal experts already knew that.

And don't worry he will talk.





I fixed my post. Still not a search warrant. And I'd like to know what the PC was and how they determined this guy was in this house. The article didn't seem to say.

If it wasn't about murder that would be an appropriate GD response. Assuming they have overwhelming evidence, I wouldn't care if they had burned him out if facing resistance.

Sorry pal but that info will be in the supporting deposition not on ARF or in the newspaper.

Search warrants are a important tool used by police everyday and will continue to be used regardless of the opinion of the keyboard commando's of ARF.




Was just wondering how a previous poster seemed so sure.

It sounds like they would've gotten him anyway and the crime lab could've matched the brass for trial after arrest without having to keep around an expensive and largely unsuccessful registry.

so, did the COBIS match come from them running brass recovered against all brass on file, or did they get a name first and then only run the brass found against brass for guns on his permit?

Quote from the NY post

But by Monday, police were staking out his house on Pitchpine Place after receiving a dozen tips identifying him as the man in the video, sources said.

In addition to outside tips, the Special Narcotics Prosecutor's Office supplied Suffolk County Police with a list of possible suspects that included David Laffer. Laffer was one of several names given to Suffolk County Police because he lived in the area, had gotten prescriptions from Haven Pharmacy in the past and he had a gun permit.

that means he's just continuing old habits.... and I doubt he did 8 - probably 4 of those were his mandatory time if he was active, reserve/guard he *may* have done 8 but only making PFC means he was busted down/non-rec'd
