It's fascinating how the OP and those who seem to be on the 'other side of the coin'* are more concerned with how the officers were justified than how they displayed so little imagination in finding a way to exercise the prerogative of the husband to authorize a forced-entry

What I find "fascinating" is that you believe that, from 4 hours away, the husband HAS that prerogative.
Again I ask :
How will he
Prove he is the rightful owner, or tenent at that address? Drivers license ? That only says he
lives there, nothing more. Unless he happens to have a Deed or Lease with him he is short on proof.
How will he
Prove that the woman at the address is his Wife, Girlfriend, etc.? Hope he has his marriage license, Oh ! I know ! a
Picture of them together !
How will he
prove that this woman even
lives there, or
exists for that matter?
How will he
Prove that there is an emergency, or for that matter, that she is even home ? Car in the driveway ?
Maybe, or, she could have left with someone.
The "imagination" possibilities are boundless.
