Lawsuit filed in wake of a record unreasonable search

A while back I mentioned a raid in Phoenix in which the publicity-addicted sheriff let Steven Seagal drive the departmental tank (actually a self-propelled howitzer), and the SWAT team apparently threw in flash bangs, all to raid a fellow accused of cock fighting. And of course to film the event for a TV series.

Looks like a lawsuit has been filed. More here. He used the armored vehicle to crash through the gates and level a wall, and in the course of things the family's puppy was killed to boot.
