Raided based on nothing more than power usage. Ignored warning in place around the MRI to prevent an accident. Cops gun gets pulled out of his hands and he pull the emergency shutdown button. Now it will cost a couple of hundred thousand to get the MRI going again. Somehow the cops will blame someone else.
Also, they left behind a loaded magazine on the floor 🤣
Even Barney Fife is amazed at how terrible of a cop that dude is.
And if they do pay damages it comes out of your tax dollars. Great system all round.
Losing 2,000 litres of helium is possibly the worst part of this.
A large part of the price as well. Not to mention magnets that were destroyed.
Don't know about MRI machines but reenergizing NMRs that were quenched is fucking expensive
I'm not completely sure but I think quenching MRI magnets is pretty permanent
I love how cops take less training to arrest people than I took to professionally reset passwords
AI RoboCop wants all the power for itself.
Another article said it was the office's high power consumption and the SMELL of marijuana... in a state where marijuana is legal. And the 'AC was too loud.' And two people dressed similarly because I guess scrubs, uniforms, or a dress code are suspicious as hell. And security cameras. Like, holy goddamn shit guys. The officers, especially the team's leader who requested the warrant and the judge who signed it, should be reprimanded for sheer incompetence.
If this is all it takes for a raid, my favorite cheap Chinese food spot should be raided, too. Hell, they get a ton of customers coming and going so they're probably dealing, too!
Cops are not the only problem here.
