The LAPD did one recently on a medical imaging office because apparently it’s suspicious that an office full of XRAY and MRI machines uses a lot of power.
Unless he was using steel case rounds, most ammunition isn’t magnetic, it wasn’t going to cause issues with the machine… he’s still a fucking idiot though.
An MRI works at 3T to 7T. At that range oxygen is slightly magnetic (Everything is magnetic, just not ferromagnetic). This can cause damage to the machine if it misaligned a critical component.
My favorite is the cop baiters. It’s illegal to use IR to identify grow houses in whatever state they operate in, so they aluminum foil the heck out of a house and crank the heat so it stands out. When the police come in based off a nonexistent anonymous tip, they’re basically caught breaking the law red handed.
The big crime here is that the police don’t arrest everyone in the house and do a full team photo-op in front of the racks before they demolish the property.
Yes, Officer, a server farm.
This has actually happened a few times now. Police raiding bitcoin miners homes because they think its a grow house.

Is that the one where the idiot cop got his gun stuck in the MRI and hit the emergency button to shut it down?
Wait, what? 😱 Got a news link for this utter imbecile actions?
I had to look it up. Wow.

Nice when they refill the MRI and need to quench it again.

The spring in the clip is steel
Thank you for the link. My (already low) faith in humanity just took a nose dive.
At least it looks like it hasn’t happened twice?
Yet.
Absolutely gobsmacked at these complete fucking morons
If they were smart, they wouldn’t be allowed to be cops…

Can’t find the video but I’ll keep looking.

I’ve seen that they also called in an anonymous tip about the house, which in itself is not enough for a warrant but the cops raided anyway.
