    http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site569/2008/0830/20080830_031532_Warrant.pdf

    A few sinister items:

    Photographs and maps of downtown St. Paul

    Hollowed out puppets

    Digital camera equipment

    etc.

    Under the "probable cause" section, item 2 says:

    To quote Porky Pig in another context, "Gee, they sure are strict around here."
