The LAPD did one recently on a medical imaging office because apparently it's suspicious that an office full of XRAY and MRI machines uses a lot of power.

Is that the one where the idiot cop got his gun stuck in the MRI and hit the emergency button to shut it down?

Wait, what? 😱 Got a news link for this utter imbecile actions?

The first officer retrieved his rifle and left the scanner room “leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor.”

Nice when they refill the MRI and need to quench it again.

Unless he was using steel case rounds, most ammunition isn't magnetic, it wasn't going to cause issues with the machine.... he's still a fucking idiot though.

An MRI works at 3T to 7T. At that range oxygen is slightly magnetic (Everything is magnetic, just not ferromagnetic). This can cause damage to the machine if it misaligned a critical component.

The spring in the clip is steel

That's fair, I miss read that, assumed he had dumped a mag full of rounds on the ground, vs a mag with rounds in it.

Absolutely gobsmacked at these complete fucking morons

If they were smart, they wouldn't be allowed to be cops...

[-] PrincessKadath@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the link. My (already low) faith in humanity just took a nose dive.

At least it looks like it hasn't happened twice?
