Was Smoking Gun Against Todd & Julie Chrisley Illegally Obtained?
Looking at the court documents recently shared on Reddit, revenue employees and the Sheriff’s of the state had permission to get into the warehouse. The goal was to seize items of value. Items the government could sell to pay off the $424,000 tax debt. The tax debt the couple owed.
During this seizure, documents were found the government later used as proof of the Chrisleys’ crimes. Proof of tax evasion and fraud. The argument being made is that these documents were obtained illegally. Voicing their opinions in a Reddit thread, fans of the Chrisley family have mixed feelings about it.
Some fans note the document allowed the search and seizure of items to be sold to repay the tax debt. The document, however, was not a search warrant. And, it did not grant permission to seize items (such as the documents) for other reasons. Some fans (and the family) argue the evidence should not be admissible in order because there was never a search warrant.
On the side of justice, the individual who started the thread notes that the discovery is no different than if they had found drugs or a dead body in the warehouse. Additionally, the OP mentions that revenue employees and sheriffs would have called proper authorities upon such a discovery.

Is The Family To Blame?
