House to house Search .

[Ah Pook]

Okay, the SWAT team is at the door and wants to search the house for a dangerous criminal that is on the loose. Knowing they will be coming in, either by "Exigent circumstances" or by eventual warrant, by letting them in to search is the scope of their search just limited to the bad guy? Is a 30rnd AR mag on the table or a marijuana plant in the corner included in the scope of the search?




Edit: Gee, take 20min to type a question and the whole topic changes.

Also, this is another reason why I opt to live in a rural community. You don't see this stuff happening as much. Send the reverse 911 calls out and hope the criminal is dumb enough to enter a redneck's home. LOL.

Not to mention, if this were in Denver, you better not have that AR or 30 round mag. Then you might have something to worry about.

I wish we could get an LEO to chime in to see how they'd typically react in this situation if someone said "I've been home the entire time, no one is here. My house is secure and safe. You can't come in."

I've never had a situation like this. However, it's no different than responding to a 911 hangup type call. Officer arrives and is greeted by a woman at the door who says everything is OK. Not good enough. The officer would try to determine through a few simple questions: are you saying that because everything's OK or because you were told to say that? Who else is in the house? Why do you seem nervous?

Then they'd ask to come in and check it out. Then they'd pretty much go in and check it out. Obviously it's not as critical as this situation is but you still have an obligation to ensure everyone is safe.

There are basically two types of 911 hangups. The type where the kid's playing on the phone and the type where some type of confrontation has occurred and now one party is saying everything is OK because they're afraid of the other.

That's kind of my point. The LE are on a mission to find this guy. I can't see them just being like "Oh, Ok, have a nice day." if you refuse to let them in.

This is what it will look like or worse if they ever try to take our arms away from us. Keep an eye on this cause this could be good practice for them.

Just an update.....

The News ( I have it on ABC local at the moment) is phone interviewing residents and apperently the police at entering every house. I dunno what the criteria is to enter or not enter but that seems to be happening .
