Last year, Kansas police raided the offices of a small local newspaper, seizing computers, the newspaper's file server, and even personal cellphones. Police also raided the home of the newspaper's owners, Eric and Joan Meyer.
On Monday, one of the paper's owners filed a lawsuit against the police, arguing that the raids clearly violated the First and Fourth Amendments—and even led directly to the stress-induced death of the paper's 98-year-old co-owner.
