The cops came, searched and left a mess for puzzled homeowner

Philadelphia Daily News daviesd@phillynews.com 215-854-2595 'Four young residents of a North Philadelphia house who circulated petitions questioning police-surveillance cameras were rousted from their home Friday and detained 12 hours without charges while police searched their house. 'Daniel Moffat, 28, a co-owner of the house, said police had no warrant when they entered. The house was examined by officials from several government agencies and then shuttered by the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections. '"This leaves me homeless, without access to things I need. My whole life is disrupted," Moffat said yesterday.' [Complete article here]

Yeah, he was so puzzled that he lied about owning the place, then threw the keys when the police questioned them.
Secondly, the cops didn't need a warrant because it was an L&I action-they were not quite "homeowners"; they were living in a commercial property without proper U&O certs., and various other requirements of any other property owner in philly. Was it a fix to get some protestors? Sure it was-but if you want to be a renegade you better have your paperwork in place or L&I's going to get you every time.
