Phone: 502-574-7111
Police entered a bar in Louisville Kentucky and proceeded to search every patron and employee of the bar. This is an obvious violation of these citizens 4th amendment rights.
We reached out to the videographer for more details and learned:
The doors were locked after all the patrons were forced inside the bar (I’m unsure whether the police locked the doors or if they had an employee lock the door, I was in the other room). The police made sure no one could enter and exit during their search. They were not locked prior to the cops entering the establishment.
There were at least 4 cops in the room with us. One flashing the flashlight at us by the bar and directly next to him was another. The man searching people was the 3rd cop and there was a 4th on the opposite wall standing. There were likely more cops in the front room though we couldn’t see in there. Eventually more cops showed up too as people were being escorted out the back door.
Nobody from Alcohol Beverage Control was seen nor was there any indication anyone from ABC was there.
