Affidavits released on COunty Register search.

1. Reporter gets publicly available Drivers record

2. Reporter goes to State website to verify

3. Reporter sends tip to Police about information

4. Police chief claims Reporter broke the law, gets search warrant

"What Zorn (reporter) did is perfectly legal under both Kansas and U.S. law."

Police chief REALLY screwed up

on the day of the illegal searches that 'there is not a probable cause affidavit filed.'
