Being seen going into residential building with a gun doesn't provide police with enough justification to search an apartment without a warrant, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled.
"Of course, carrying a firearm is not itself a crime in the Commonwealth," the court said in a 4-0 opinion released Friday.
Democrats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives have rejected – for now – a $15 per hour state-wide minimum wage.
Despite the failure by House progressives to get what they wanted — a raise in the minimum wage from the present $7.25 to $15/hour by 2024 – the majority of House Democrats, along with two Republicans, still managed to pass a more modest proposal to increase the minimum wage to $12/hour by 2022.
