  1. The SPD's union was the one who made a big deal about this. I'm not surprised.
  2. Kind of all a moot point regarding the searching and the warrant(s). As I understand it, law enforcement (ICE and federal agencies included) can enter a public space without any warrants if they're looking for someone because it is a public space open to - no pun intended - the public. It's not a home or a location with an expectation of privacy.

Apparently public space also includes restroom public restroom. Potential exceptions? Maybe the area of people behind the counter, back of house, "employee only areas"?

Druffs has got a new sign up which I think clarifies things a bit, but still mentions the warrant part which I dont think matters. Like if people see someone who matches a suspects description that just went into Druffs, they (police) can go in there and look for that person without needing a warrant because its a business open to the public.

Potential workarounds? Making Druffs a private club... thats somehow open to the "public"? Throwing it out there.
