So this was not a politically motivated search and post-Ferguson, how can anything now play in Peoria.
An Illinois judge this week ruled that a police SWAT team was within its rights to raid the house of a man who ran a Twitter parody account based on the Peoria, Ill. mayor, according to The Guardian.
In April, four SWAT officers entered the house of Jacob Elliott's Peoria house after the city's mayor alerted the police to a Twitter account @peoriamayor, a fake account that depictedMayor Jim Artisas a drunk and a drug user.
During the raid, the police searched the entire house, seizing phones and computers, according to the Journal Star.
Elliott's roommate, Jon Daniel, created the fake account, but during the search, police found marijuana in Elliott's bedroom. Elliott was then charged with marijuana possession and possession of paraphernalia.
