Santa Cruz Indymedia | Animal Liberation | Police State and PrisonsPolice Raid House on Riverside Avenue in Santa Cruz, Again
Details are quite sketchy, but on August 7th, police raided a home on the 700 block of Riverside Avenue in Santa Cruz. It is the same home that was raided on February 24, 2008. In the February raid, police assert that the home, or the people who were inside of it, were somehow connected to what they proclaim are animal rights activists that held a protest that allegedly ended with a scuffle at a UC Santa Cruz researcher's house. The raid on August 7th was apparently carried out by at least the Department of Justice, FBI, and UCSC police.  riverside1_8-7-08.jpg A brief notice of the August 7th raid was posted to the newswire of Santa Cruz Indymedia:
Police To Serve Search Warrant on Riverside Ave. (August 7, 2008) http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/08/07/18523801.php Police Raid Activist House in Santa Cruz (February 24, 2008) http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/02/25/18481563.php

Wonder which police agency gets to cruise around in a Charger R/T? If that's a take home vehicle, I'm there...

It's for work purposes only! That tall pickup looks like an F350? I suppose if you need to haul stuff, that's handy.

Does anyone have a handy flow-chart of the difference branches of law enforcement? In another newswire article, they showed photos of the post office police conducting marijuana drug raids with guns. What do the Department of Justice police specialize in?

At 17 miles per gallon, only as long as the government's also paying for gas. Why would the government be issuing old-style, gas-guzzling muscle cars in the Bay Area anyway, (where there is absolutely no place to drive that fast, unless you're out at 3:00 AM) Maybe so they can chase the terrorists around Sears Point?

Then yes, they will pay for your gas... besides... FBI coming down from Frisco can speed down 280...mmmmmm...

Today, the FBI continued their harrassment of above-ground animal rights activists and visited an individual in the East Bay.

If the FBI visited someone, especially with Animal Rights-related questions, it'd be a good idea to publicize the hell out of it. Especially with the Long Haul raid the other day.
