Outside. Where the likelyhood of having firearms is diminished. And even if they were carrying, could have taken them by surprise. Some departments do this regularly when apprehending potentially violent perps.
It's just a thought. A possible way to limit shootout type situations....
sbm^ Outside? Meaning outside her apt & apt complex?
And when the BF and her kids were not w her? Okay, I can agree in those circumstances she - or anyone - might be
less likely to have gun, than if she were in apt. That's azz-uming she does not 'carry' (which ppl do, with or without a permit authorizing it).
But
where & when specifically might that be? Would LE need to do a
stakeout for days to learn her personal routine? IIRC, LE's Incident Report re 911 domestic violence call (in June this yr for BF leaving red marks & scratches on her), neither of the two of them was employed, or at least reported
no employment to LE. How does LE scope out where to find a person like this to serve a warrant, if not at home? Admittedly, a firefight while serving warrant at an apt endangers ppl in other apts too.
Maybe officers could learn her routine outside the apt: daily starting at noon for three hours, MTWTF & S, she alternates at six places: hairdresser, Bible study, library volunteer, Chamber of Commerce wk'ly lunch, choir practice, & delivering drugs for BF. Okay, how does LEOs learning her routine make warrant-serving safer, if she is still
surrounded by people who may be endangered if her resistance leads to LE use of force? Unilkely imo many 'outside' the apt locations would allow LEO to serve warrant on her by herself w nobody else around.
JM2cts, could be wrong.
