Anyone Got a Link to this Video?

posted by on April 23 at 9:00 AM

A Florida teenager faces a charge of elder abuse alleging he made his senile grandmother wear a black mask and hold a handgun for a video he made.

Police in Lake Worth, Fla., say the 85-year-old woman is seen and heard on the video threatening to shoot “all the pigs.” … The teen’s mother says it’s all just a misunderstanding.

That's no misunderstanding.

Palm Beach County sheriff's detectives seized the video during a traffic stop in January.

Nothing like a little 4th ammendment violating to start the day off right, eh piggy piggy? It's pretty clearly one of those "I'm going to find a reason to bust your ass" situations because the kid was being smart with the cop.

He shouldn't have been a mouthy dumbass, but it's still no excuse for the cops illegally searching and siezing private property during a traffic stop.

It's so good to hear about teenagers spending quality time with their grandparents, especially finding activities they both can enjoy thus bridging the proverbial generation gap.

Oops, my mistake. The Supreme Court overruled the 4th Amendment today:
