Battery Dan Finn Refuses Warrants Over Illegal Registration Powers
Magistrate Battery Dan Finn joins other West Side magistrates in opposing warrants and summonses for alleged registration frauds. He criticizes Superintendent Leary for seeking warrants on insufficient evidence, calling it evidence that would not even send a dog to the pound. The dispute follows a plainclothes officer seeking twelve warrants for janitors, housekeepers, and agents at sites tied to suspected illegal registrations. Leary defends the investigation as proper and says the magistrates’ refusals hinder law enforcement. Patrolman Madigan faces arrest over alleged registrations at Varick and Bleecker streets, with registry book pages torn at 302 Bleecker Street. Leary vows safeguards will prevail.
