Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas

Unsure

Recently, an individual known to the

police to be a drug user, parked his

vehicle in my friend's backyard. This

was done in the middle of the night

without permission. The police said

that they could do nothing about it

because they did not see the guy do it.

The license plate on the vehicle was

expired and had never been registered

to that vehicle. A gun could be seen

through the window. The police said

the gun was legally registered to the

guy. During one of the nights the

vehicle was parked in my friend's yard,

someone put a zippered bag in it.

Syringes could be seen in the bag

because it wasn't completely zippered

shut. Despite the gun, the syringes,

and the parking without permission the

police said they could do nothing. The

guy has done this same thing on at

least two other occasions. Out of fear

of being in her own home and yard, my

friend had to pay a towing service to

remove the vehicle. I'm shocked that

this guy was able to get away with this.

Are there trepassing or any other laws

in KS that apply here. Wasn't there

enough probable cause to get a warrant

and seize this vehicle?

Re: Unsure

Yes on all your questions. What you here is a prime example of a lazy police force. Or fear on the part of the police. I would bring such events to the attention of your local newspaper. I would imagine they would find it interesting and news worthy.
