    I also hate going into people's houses and will refuse except for a few certain circumstances.

    My question is on the legal end what happens if I'm on the crapper and the cops show up- no suspicious activity just me by myself- and they knock and I finish up and flush then they burst in on the assumption I'm "destroying evidence" because they heard a toilet flush? Or even worse if I don't hear them identify themselves as the police and I come around the corner gun in hand because I heard the door get kicked in? There has to be some sort of legal protection right? And I can send the bill for the broken door and frame to the local department right?

    The legal protection in that situation is that you'd be too dead to sue and tell your side of the story. Also, I laughed out loud when I read you asking if you could send the bill to the police. You're insurance wouldn't pay for the door either.

    Okay, omit the part about drawing or carrying a gun in the officers presence, but I can bet my bottom dollar a LEO breaking down my door because he suspected I was destroying evidence is probably going to have some explaining to do when he finds nothing and I go speak with our family friend- the County Sheriff.

    If they have a warrant, I think their actions will be protected by the state.

    No I was talking about if a cop came by my house by mistake, or asshat neighbor, or to ask some questions, or some silly reason like that, without warrant, it helps that my family has known the Sheriff since before he was elected.

    What control do you think the county sheriff has over municipal police officers? Answer: none.

    True- but I live in the unincorporated part of my county, so we don't have municipal police- just deputies.

    Ahh, you failed to mention that, I think. If a municipal officer was there to execute a warrant, he would most likely have someone from the county with him. If it is someone from the state or feds, probably won't be telling the local agency.

    Yeah my bad for not clarifying... and that is a good example of interagency cooperation at it's best: my buddy who is a deputy for Jeffco interfered with a FBI operation on accident once, mainly because he had no idea they were doing anything at all in his area and the feds deemed it sensitive enough to not tell local LE, well the FBI sent a nasty letter asking that JSCO reprimand their deputy for his actions against a federal agent, the sheriff's department tossed the letter, wrote back "Next time tell us" and left it at that. I guess the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing and when it gets burned it can't blame the right hand.
