And if the bike was moved by anyone other than the officers, the cover would have been removed, revealing the perfect match to what they were looking for, and sitting there waiting on the warrant for!!

I'm 100% pro LEO but this was handled wrong. After reading the article and seeing the pic... there was no way to know the bike was the one in question from the street or even standing next to it... with the fitted cover on. But they had more than enough info to get a warrant and as notes above, they could have easily gotten one. Sadly, I agree with the BG's Lawyer on this one. Lazy police work with the right outcome, doesn't excuse lazy police work!
