Agreed to some extent jwschmidt, but a warrant has to have some limits. They got a call from one "15 year old" that resided in colorado springs and has a long history of prank calling police about various disturbing activities and has actually served time in prison for it. A simple phone trace would have revealed that the woman calling was from colorado, not texas, and a little research would have revealed that she was a serial prank caller. The warrant should probably have not been issued at all, but if issued should have been fairly narrow. Furthermore, the argument that because it was a 'closed' community they are all responsible is probably common sense, but not dignified by the law. If this were the case, the man and woman in an abuse case should always both be arrested, I mean, thats a closed environment as well, two people living in one house with children... The problem is that, while it would be great to make the exception just this one time, in the future this could very well be used to hold an entire family guilty for one family members crime.
