This has actually happened, and it's a sign that police culture is broken where it happens. It should take way more than a high electric bill to get a warrant and that evidence should involve investigative work.

Always assumed this fiasco was started by high electric bills:

The gun flew out of the officer’s hand as it was pulled by the MRI machine’s “magnetic force” and got stuck on the equipment, according to the complaint.

Any reason for the quotation marks? That's... what it is. 😅

E: Oh god, I have many more questions.

[One LAPD officer] looked at the sign, opened the office’s door and went inside with his weapon, [...] The gun flew out of the officer’s hand as it was pulled by the MRI machine’s “magnetic force” and got stuck on the equipment [...] Instead of consulting with medical staff, another LAPD officer broke the seal of an emergency button and pressed it, deactivating the MRI machine [...]. The MRI machine’s magnet quickly lost “superconductivity,” and about 2,000 liters of helium gas evaporated, damaging the machine, [...] The officer who had the rifle retrieved his weapon, walked out of the room and left behind a loaded magazine on the floor, the complaint says.
