House to house Search .

[clublights]

Watching Footage of the manhunt for the boston bomber, SWAT teams seem to be doing house to house searches Entering the houses and searching



Would you let them in ?


I'm kinda torn.. I want my privacy .... but I want them to get on with the search and find the fuck. sooner they look thru my house the sooner they move on to where he might be.

I wouldn't.

Shouldn't they be able to review the UAV footage to see he never entered my home? /tinfoil hat

It would be complicated. Obviously you've armed yourself in case the bad guy tries to get in. Then your armed and the swat team comes knocking. They just had one of theirs get shot/bombed, and they're pissed with itchy triggers. Possible bad situation right there.

Never mind , it's a gun control state and I don't have a permit, bad guy already busted in and took me hostage.

I'd know the guy they are looking for wasn't in my house so there would be no need to let them in.

No warrant, no searchee.

During a search for a missing girl in Colorado that resulted in house to house searches an elderly lady said she allowed police to search her home because she'd do anything to help find the girl. Well hell, if you've got her in the basement lady, just bring her out.

... and this is where some of the more extreme here lose me. In a case where I know and understand what's going on and wny the searches are in the public's best interest (read: immediate public safety like armed & dangerous fugitive), yes, I cooperate. If it appears to be just random or the story sounds like just an excuse to case my house, nope, the Fourth Amendment protects me against unwarranted search & seizure. Yeah, I know I'm not the perp and I'm not hiding the little girl but how do you know the perp isn't hiding in your basement or shed? Why not let the police save some time and focus their search efforts by quickly verifying your place is "clean"?

Jeebus guys, is your world really that B&W? Are you one of the ones who would've prosecuted Lt Col West for aggravated assault because he fired his M9 while questioning an Iraqi detainee about a planned ambush on his unit?

[RCCrawler]

I wonder if people even have the option to tell them no.

No warrant, no searchee.

ding ding ding, we have a winner

[Great-Kazoo]

No warrant, no searchee.

Not under the patriot Act and when a Terrorist Attack happened.

My home, they would have been already informed there was no one on premises. PROVIDING I was on site the entire time. If not they could do a basic out building search.


It happened about 28 years ago in Arap County. Our dogs (rhoodesian , a rottie and dane shepard) were going crazy in the yard as i see a figure flash across the side window, moving towards the front of house. The door bell rings and i answer it, standing off to the side with gun drawn, at chest level. Standing there with a look of "OH SHIT" was Mr. meth himself Pat Sullivan. In a stern / commanding voice i say WHAT DO YOU WANT? He's umm um we're looking for a fleeing suspect who was just seen in this area, BUT it looks like he is not at this house, have a good day. And off he goes. It didn't register who he was until he left. We had a good laugh with that one, since i use to handle maintenance for the AC MC's
