michealcj-
I wasnt being quite that literal. I understand that police have reasons to enter private property, to save lives and protect people. I just took the short cut of saying it by referencing chasing a maniac. I really dont think the police, in this situation, are going to be able to pull a valid reason out of their butts, such as a serial killer just went in and they were hot on his tail.
checking on welfare-maniacs not taking care of each other to the point of bodily harm
"extingent circumstances"-uhh...maniacs
domestic violence- some maniac beating a family member.
My main point was im very curious to learn what these circumstances were that caused these police to enter without a warrant. It reads like they went there to bust up a homeless junkie flophouse. Im sure a judge would have signed that warrant.
Since when does private property being abandoned mean you can trespass freely? especially when its being occupied!?! Thats hardly abandoned. And they had to have known someone was in there for two reasons. If this dog was such a menace, they would have heard it barking. And second if they were going to break up a flop, that means theres people there and its not abandoned. They cant just assume without any oversight that people living in houses are homeless, thats ridiculous.
When i said no warrant, no entry, no exceptions, I was talking about two cops standing in a guys driveway, like, man, i really wish we could go in there. Theres no amount of prostitutes or drugs or homeless squatters that make police gods that can do what they want. warrants are there for a reason.
And for the record, i believe you are a police officer and i respect that, and also im very early in the process of becoming a police officer myself, so im not some foil hat authority-phobe.
