“The complaint requests the Kansas Commission on Judicial Conduct to review ‘Viar’s mental capacity in her decision to seemingly circumvent federal and state law’ when she signed off on the search warrant for the newspaper office…”
“Unfortunately, Joan Meyer, who was 98 years old, passed away the day after the police raided her home.”
“Police took Meyer’s computer and a router used by an Alexa smart speaker during the raid at her home, according to the paper. Officers at the Record’s office seized personal cellphones, computers, the newspaper’s file server and other equipment.”
“The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead. Viar didn’t respond to a request to comment for this story or explain why she would authorize a potentially illegal raid.”
