Police and bounty hunters sued after raiding wrong home
“If bail bondsman are allowed to do what our local police department can not do and that is to enter a house without a warrant…from what I’m being told, it could be any house.”
Recorded on video holding an innocent family at gunpoint and raiding their home without a search warrant, at least two Pennsylvania bounty hunters along with New York police officers have recently been sued by the family for violating their civil rights.
Last month, Jake Reinhardt was asleep with his fiancée and their three-year-old daughter when an unidentified bounty hunter repeatedly banged on his front door while ordering him to open the door before they “kick it in.” Peering through his window, Reinhardt saw two armed men standing next to a couple of Buffalo police officers on his front lawn.

BUFFALO, N.Y. For months 2 On Your Side has been following the debate over school zone speed cameras, which Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown says are necessary to protect children.
But as we showed you Monday, some serious questions are being raised about the whole program by a local father who knows a lot about urban planning and how to compile and analyze data. On Tuesday he made his case to the Buffalo City Council s Legislation Committee.
Peter Rizzo is a man on a mission to get City Hall to listen to his complaints about those school zone cameras and how they were rolled out. As he puts it, You can always restart it at another time but right now it is wrong for Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â More school zone cameras will be in action across Buffalo come next Monday. A spokesperson for the city said around 15 additional cameras will be in operation, as in-person classes begin for some Buffalo Public Schools. That spokesperson says the city plans on detailing the re-roll out of the program later this week.
Late last year, the Buffalo Common Council voted to put the program on hold. Mayor Byron Brown vetoed the measure.
Buffalo Ready to Activate More School Zone Speed Cameras
With public schools set to reopen next week in Buffalo, the City is poised to reactivate more cameras.
According to reporting by WKBW, City of Buffalo officials are set to activate at least 15 more cameras that monitor vehicle speed in and around schools in Buffalo.
The reactivation of these cameras comes as a disappointment to many people that think the camera program is rife with problems, including improperly ticketing thousands of drivers, and should be paused until those problems can be solved.
This needs to be paused. We asked for it to be paused. I still think it needs to be paused. I ll say it again, I m not saying that it doesn’t need to be, at all. I m simply saying it needs to be right.
