No Probable Cause to Charge Illgal Alien Holding a Blowtorch?
California is in the grip of historic wildfires that have destroyed $ Billions in property damage and unknown numbers of lives lost. In Woodland Hills, local citizens saw an illegal alien wandering around the neighborhood with a blowtorch and detained him for police. But police could not determine probable cause in spite of the citizens saying he was trying to light fires.
Police arrived and the suspect was arrested but was not charged with arson or attempted arson. He was arrested on a felony probation warrant, but there was “no probable cause” for either arson or attempted arson.
The man told officers that he was using the blowtorch to smoke marijuana because he couldn’t afford a lighter.
