The KSHB 41 I-Team obtained three affidavits in relation to the raids on Marion County Record, the newspaper owner's home and the city vice mayor's home.

The affidavits, provided by the attorney for the newspaper, lay out what evidence police used to get a judge to sign off on the warrant to search the properties.

So someone at the newspaper obtained an officer's driving record from state computers, possibly illegally.

Accessing public websites is legal everywhere in the country.

And someone at the newspaper threatened to publish a story about the officer.

This is also legal everywhere in the country.
