Why? Because someone said he was interested in bombs and was building one in his RV?
Was it?
What would watching the exterior of an RV tell the police about what was inside it?
They could have seen inside the RV by watching the outside?
Interesting. Tell me, what components were used?
How many cops would it take to do that, and who'd pay for it?
Is that what happened?
Apparently nothing. Probably why they couldn't obtain a search warrant.
They sure don't blame China for the China virus...
Here's the part that Burpin' didn't mention:
According to the police report and the woman's attorney, Raymond Throckmorton III, the woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.
Officers called their mobile crisis division, and after talking with the woman, she agreed to be transported by ambulance for a psychological evaluation.
Police then went to Warner's home, but he didn't answer the door after they knocked several times.
Officers saw his RV behind the house, but the vehicle was fenced off and police were unable to see inside of it, the report said.
While there, police noted that there were "several security cameras and wires attached to a alarm sign on the front door."
The officers notified supervisors and detectives about the incident.
"They saw no evidence of a crime and had no authority to enter his home or fenced property.
The department's hazardous devices unit was given a copy of the report.
The next day, Nashville police sent the report and identifying information about Warner to the FBI to check their databases.
Later that day, the FBI reported back that they checked their holdings and found no records on Warner at all.
Darrell DeBusk, a spokesperson for the FBI, said the inquiry was a standard agency-to-agency record check.
On Aug. 28, 2019, the Department of Defense reported back that checks on Warner were all negative.
During the week of August 26, 2019, police called Throckmorton, who declined to allow police to interview Warner or go on Warner's property, the FBI said.
Officers recalled Throckmorton saying Warner “did not care for the police,” and that Throckmorton would not allow Warner to give consent to officers to conduct a visual inspection of the RV.
Throckmorton told The Tennessean while he represented Warner in a civil matter several years ago, Warner was no longer a client of his in August 2019. He disputes that he told police they couldn't search the RV.
"I have no memory of that whatsoever," Throckmorton said of MNPD's claim that said they could not inspect the RV. "I didn’t represent him anymore. He wasn’t an active client. I'm not a criminal defense attorney."
Police at the time had no proof of wrongdoing by Warner.
At no time was there any evidence of a crime detected and no additional action was taken.
No additional information about Warner came to the department’s or the FBI’s attention after August 2019.
The ATF also had no information on Warner.
Warner's only prior arrest occurred more than 40 years earlier, in January 1978, for marijuana possession.

It gets real interesting. The woman's attorney was also Warner's at one point, and police reported that he denied them permission to enter the RV, which he now denies.
A person can deny the police a search of their home or automobile if they have no search warrant.
Indeed.
That's not what happened.

Yes, I read that. Are lawyers always honest? Maybe he just (conveniently) "forgot"?
It's possible. Politicians do it all the time...
I'm waiting to see what they found in his home now that they had reason to search it. I'm sure they found things they haven't made public yet.
There's a lot of unanswered questions at this point. I bet there will still be quite a few unanswered questions once the investigation is finished.
The plot thickens:
A Nashville attorney who represented Anthony Quinn Warner during a family real estate dispute in early 2019 said his former client gave property to a young woman whose mother he knew personally and the transaction created a schism within the Warner family.
Ray Throckmorton III told The Tennessean he represented Warner in 2018 and 2019.
According to a lawsuit filed by Warner's mother in February 2019, he was acting as "attorney-in-fact" for his brother when Warner transferred his mother's stake in a family home to himself by a quit claim deed. Warner later transferred the home to a 29-year-old woman who lives in Los Angeles.
The family property at 3724 Bakertown Road, which at the time had a market value of nearly $230,000, was given for free by Warner to the Los Angeles woman in January 2019.
The woman did not have to sign the quit claim deed to accept the property, according to public documents. In August 2019, the 29-year-old deeded the home back to Warner's mother.
"I remember him saying he knew her mother personally," Throckmorton said of how Warner was connected to the young woman. The Nashville attorney also said Warner described the recipient of the house as "the child of a friend of his."
Throckmorton didn't pry further about the connection, he said, and Warner didn't elaborate on why he transferred the property.
"We never asked and never made any inquires or any connections as to why he wanted to do that," said Throckmorton, who has practiced law for three decades.
Then in November 2020 — one month before the bombing — records show Warner transferred the home he lived in at 115 Bakertown Road to the young woman.
Warner ended his client relationship with Throckmorton after he became unhappy with the status of the 2019 family dispute case, the attorney said.
Throckmorton described Warner as a "techy, computer-geeky guy," who came across as intelligent, though reserved.
"He just seemed like he hated life and he hated everything and everybody," Throckmorton said.
"He was extremely reserved and suspicious and paranoid and distrustful. There was no chitchat with him."
Throckmorton said he met Warner through another client, the woman who police on Tuesday identified as Warner's girlfriend.
The 64-year-old woman began to call Throckmorton's office frequently in 2019 to report she feared for her safety, saying Warner was stalking her and even potentially drugging and poisoning her.
"She believed that Tony was spying on her, believed that he was breaking into her house at night while she was asleep," Throckmorton said. "She believed all kinds of things. We had no way to know whether or not that was true."
Throckmorton said the woman told him Warner was building bombs.
The attorney said Warner never mentioned anything to him about building bombs.
"He'd said it to her on numerous occasions, allegedly," Throckmorton said. "My understanding is he never showed her anything. He would just boast or brag about it."
On Aug. 21, 2019, Throckmorton got a call from the distraught woman. Afraid she would harm herself, he said he called 911 as he drove to the woman's house in Antioch.
Police, firefighters and medics beat him to the scene, he said.
According to a Metro Nashville Police Department report from the day, the woman told officers Warner "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence."
Throckmorton told officers Warner "frequently talks about the military and bomb making," the report said.
Warner "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb," Throckmorton said to the officers at the time, according to the report.
Throckmorton said Warner had previously mentioned to him that he was in the Navy. Police reports show the FBI and Department of Defense have no military records for Warner.
Nashville officers, while at the woman's house with Throckmorton, called for a mental health crisis expert, and the woman voluntarily agreed to be transported for psychological evaluation, according to MNPD spokesman Don Aaron.
Officers then traveled a mile and a half to Warner's home at 115 Bakertown Road, where they saw an RV in his fenced-off backyard. Warner did not come to the door, and the officers alerted supervisors and the bomb squad.
"They saw no evidence of a crime and had no authority to enter his home or fenced property," Aaron said of officers' unsuccessful attempt to make contact with Warner or look inside the RV.
The next day, Nashville police passed along the report to the FBI, which "reported back that they checked their holdings and found no records on Warner at all," Aaron said in a statement.
"At no time was there any evidence of a crime detected and no additional action was taken," Aaron said. "No additional information about Warner came to the department’s or the FBI’s attention after August 2019."

Hard to say. Lawyers are generally smart enough to evade incriminating themselves. We'll have to wait and see if he trips himself.
BTW (off topic), how can you post with so many other accounts at the same time? There's another thread where some say you're posting there at the same time you're posting here with other screen names? You must be a magician! Everyone used to be Mason. Now everyone is Legion! You're quite popular, you know.
