Icon5 Sheriff’s Raid to Find Blogger Who Criticized Him Was Unconstitutional, Court Rules

The raid was sparked by the sheriff’s investigation into who was behind the anonymous blog that accused local officials, including him, of corruption and fraud. Through a blog and a Facebook page called “John Turner,” ExposeDAT used public records to show conflicts of interest.

The sheriff sought warrants when Tony Alford, a local business owner, filed a criminal complaint about the blog. On August 2, Larpenter and his deputies raided the Andersons’ house after they traced the IP address of the John Turner Facebook page through a warrant to AT&T.
Man,if you're going to take on the local sheriff, post from a library or coffee shop.

I wonder how far the accusations went? And if there is an investigation on the sheriff now?
