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.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say I was OK with it. I said it was most likely legal and would hold up under the exigent circumstances rule. And as far as I know, city officials only requested people stay at home/inside. It wasn't mandatory. I even heard the Boston mayor thanking people for complying with the "request".

Ah my apologies I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

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.

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 .

just wait til they cry exigent circumstances on the door to door gun and magazine confiscation or gun safety checks

if exigent circumstances is good enough for Boston, then its good enough for guns because public safety.

Glad I live in rural setting. I think less likely to happen and more likely I will know officers personally. Otherwise my reluctance to let them in may get me in trouble.

In a scenario like this I would go along to make it easier to catch this puke but my wife would not abide until she had time enough to clean the house up to snuff which means they would have to wait on the porch while I vacummed and scrubbed toilets and stashed clutter. Then when they came in she would apoligize ad nauseum about the condition of our home until they got sick of it pronto and left...

Seriously, I try to be law abiding and above board in my life and I'm not afraid YET that my possessions are cause for incarceration. My daughters room would have been good for a couple of pot charges before the election probably but not now... Again, nothing to hide but a messy house and pet stains.

yeah i was actually thinking about this myself... watch out the windows, youll be able to see them coming, stash weapons etc.

I didn't even think of that. We may be married to the same woman.
