I am sure everyone on this forum feels the same way I do. We are so in it 24/7 that we go back and forth and get so confused. We need someone to take over and get this search warrant, and the information we need to get the address of the grandmother. And to really take us down the steps we need to take in the order we need to take them. I think if you could talk to the police they woud know how urgent it is that we move on this asap, before they move Zeke and we never find him.
Galeata, I don't know where you live, are you in California, close to Modesto? |
A private lawyer can't get a search warrant. Only the police can, so they really have the control here. That is the bottom line. I can talk to the police if they contact me and feel them out and communicate with them in legal language they can understand, but I can't make them do anything.
As to getting the address and pictures of the dog, if it were me, I'd put a PI on it, then go to the police. I also wouldn't just get anyone who has a PI license either.
I don't know PI's in Modesto, but I have two PI's here in Fresno that I would trust not to blow it, but they aren't cheap. The reason I would start with a PI is because this is not likely going to be a priority for the police to handle in a way that makes it
impossible for the potential thieves to get away with the dog. This is likely to be true of any police agency in the country of a town the size of Modesto. Given the way the police have already handled things earlier, I can tell that they don't care much about this case. You are going to have to do their heavy footwork for them and present them with everything they need IMO.
I live 90 minutes away from Modesto.
