House to house Search .

[muddywings]

I talked about this for a bit with my father-in-law. As a former LEO (only a few years) and my father in law as a retired LEO, my initial gut reaction was....get an F'n warrent you PIG. Honestly, my father-in-law agreed.
After some internal debate I agreed with the OP; they got a tough job.
"Sure, come in, look for the bad guy, go to next house. Thank you for what you are doing. Be safe!"

HOWEVER...AFTER THIS:



"Yes sir. I'll put my hands on my head and walk out." (get to the cleared area) "Please tell me who the supervisor is and I would like a business card. Thank you, be safe Mr. Police Officer."

Ring Ring "Mr. Attorney, I'm suing the shit of the PD for illegal search. I have the card of the PoPo in charge."

This one not as dramatic:



sorry for the "wordyness." I was cooking dinner and typing/researching at the same time.
Basically I went from:
Hell no, get a warrant
to:
Ok, feel free to search, be careful.
Back to:
F-N and BTW, I'll be calling a lawyer soon.

Our legal system favors the innocent. It would rather see a guilty person walk free than put an innocent person in jail. When cops start treating everybody as guilty upon first contact, even in high stress situations like this, then they are doing it WRONG. Unless they can articulate that they had a credible tip that made them feel the suspects where in THAT house, the way they treated those people were uncalled for. Let's just get rid of warrants all together and just go with no-knock (warrantless) searches while we are at it. With this display, the terrorists are winning (still).
