Holy political favors, Batman! That's the allegation against San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos for sending a four-man team across the country last week, to raid the garage that builds Batmobiles. Read the ABC7 News I-Team report here: https://abc7ne.ws/3Q8tglN

(24,332 posts)1. Well, it's a minor point,
but San Mateo to Idaho is not "across the country".
Looks very banana republic. And I'll bet all the communications between the aggrieved Batman car customer and his buddy the sheriff were over the phone, with no records kept (no doubt a violation of state regulations). These people know how to conduct favors.
If this story is as it appears on the surface, that car fabricator should sue, big time, for harassment and whatever else a good lawyer can come up with.
Two-tiered prosecution system, apparently, with a whole level of prosecution reserved for buddies of the sheriff. How corrosive to the ideals this nation is supposed to represent.
Mr. Bill, not to pick nits, but San Mateo to Indiana is over 2,200 miles.

The County Board of Supervisors is looking for answers too.
