So, wait...They raided his house and said that he came out with his hands up and the police said THAT was a SUSPICIOUS behavior. They also said they dont need a warrant because a child there gave them permission. AND they were there about a 911 call but they WILL NOT RELEASE THE 911 CALL.
Now seriously, who can defend violating someones 4th amendment right based on an unconfirmed and unwilling to confirm story from cops who already acted seemingly unlawfully?
4th Amendment doesn't apply if the police believe someone is in danger .
or if they make up a 911 call that doesnt exist.
For instance , you can't be beating on your wife and when the cops show up, tell them to get a warrant and slam the door in their face.
Now, let me explain how the law works here for you.
They claim they had exigent circumstances (a 911 caller says they had a woman crying for assistance) when they show up at your door and tell you that, you don't have a 4th Amendment to stand on. Regardless of whether they found said woman or not, because they acted in good faith.
I know but that wasnt the case here...We are talking about this case arent we?
Now , here is where it gets tricky, if they enter your home under such exigent circumstances, it doesn't matter if you have a kilo of a coke out on your living room table, they can not arrest you for that ( unless they could view it from plain site outside your home, but let's stick with basics.
The ONLY thing the police are entitled to look for is a woman in distress.
So why in the fuck would you argue with them? Let them in and be done with it.
He didnt argue, again...Are we talking about this case or not?
ALso, my guess is this guy was a known entity to police. They don't just generally go around cuffing people.
But they did just cuff him and said that him coming out the door with his hands up was suspicious. Now a universal sign of surrender is characterized as suspicious. Thats a deep dark slope you're about to go down
So, the correct action is you ask them why they want entry, then you let them enter, they have a right to expediently enter if someone might be in danger, they don't even have to ask, let alone convince you they have a valid reason.
He opened the door and they cuffed him, again are we talking about this case or not?
Then AFTER the incident is over you ask them to show why they felt someone was in danger in your home.
They left afterwards and didnt say anything. This case bro or some other case?
Do you get that the police put a person's health and life ahead of your fourth amendment rights, and the courts have ruled that that is just?
Yes but do you get they made up a reason to harrass this guy and used the phoney 911 call as cover?
yes, in this case it turns out there was no one in danger, but the police didn't know that.
So that means they can just come stomping into anyones house as long as they say they believe someone was in danger. All they have to do is say the magic words that absolve them from wrong doing...."I believe!"
Now , after the incident is over if the police lied about a 911 call to gain entry, that's another matter entirely. As is if someone called 911 and lied about such.
They are refusing to release the tape so you tell me if they are lying. Its pretty easy to prove they arent btu they hold the keys to the evidence.
