According to this story in the Denver Post the whole story posed by Maginnis is false.

In addition the same denial was made by:

Lt. Steven W. Carter #80041
Denver Police Dept.
Office of the Chief of Police
(720) 913-6748 Work

in response to an enquiry made by a Bill Ries-Knight who reported it to the Politech list. Interestingly, he said, "I make no comment except that the Officer wanted to verify my Identity before investigating, I provided my real name and cell phone number. He responded in his reply with my office address and phone number as listed with my domain registrar, but not the home address."

Regards,
Bill Ries-Knight
