Another thing....Wouldn't the first thing officers should do is search the immediate area, i.e. the girls house and property?

What kind of dog is that? Is it a big beastly dog?

 

Clyde's video link has a couple photos of him about halfway down on the left-hand side. Looks harmless from those pictures. :idunno:

The article said it was a Weimeraner. They're very big, but friendly.

It's a pretty high threshold, e.g. the officer saw a guy forcing a kid into the house.

 

We sometimes hear of police going house to house. Does that require consent by each homeowner?

That same video is on the link that I posted.

 

When I clicked on that link it took me to the main Yahoo page.

If the officer violated privacy rights then he should be held responsible. If he did not violate privacy rights then it's just an unfortunate situation.

Actually breaking into the houses? Definitely. Even with a warrant it's limited to a specific location, like one house or apartment.

No. If there is a lost child or a terrorist on the loose can police come into your yard and look under, say, a tarp or behind a bush?

Which begs the question....Why would they not first search the child's own home?

Or say there is a well on the property. Can the police enter the property to look down the well?

A lawyer or officer will have to answer that. It's my understanding they can view what's exposed, but anything beyond that needs permission/warrant.

I would imagine they'd need a warrant unless there was something that gave them reason to believe the missing person is on the property in question.

Clyde: It violates his rights to stop me at a DUI Check point, but doesn't have a problem with police officers jumping private fences and killing dogs they encounter who are defending their turf. Not understanding your logic on this one, Clyde.

You can stop me at a DUI checkpoint daily, but if someone ever enters my property and shoots my dog...well, I hope that a friend stops me, because if not, I'll end up in prison.

How can anyone back what the officer did? Unless he had evidence we aren't aware of , not answering the door isn't a reason to enter private property.
