DENVER — The ACLU of Colorado has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 77-year-old woman, claiming that her Montbello house was searched by Denver's SWAT team who didn't find any criminal activity, but damaged her sense of safety in her home, which was left in disarray.
The lawsuit accuses Det. Staab of"of unjustifiably violating the privacy and security of Ms. Johnson’s home by hastily seeking, obtaining, and executing a search warrant without proper investigation, adequate facts, and legal justification, in violation of the Colorado Constitution." The lawsuit claims that Staab"did no independent police work to corroborate the tip or further investigate" and instead applied for a search warrant using a"hastily prepared, bare bones, misleading" affidavit. It was approved by an unknown DPD supervisor — who did not properly fill the paperwork out and instead only gave an"illegible signature" — but"blatantly misrepresented the facts and misled the reviewing judge," the lawsuit reads.
Officers and SWAT left after they had"found no evidence of anything even remotely connected to any criminal activity," the complaint reads.
