July 8, 201016 yr This illustrates the problem with the whole "I have nothing to hide, so let the authorities check me out all they want" mentality that I hear so often. Absolutely correct.
July 9, 201016 yr Author I recieved a call from a deputy about this while I was away from home picking up two of the new I-phones for my children. I tried calling them back but got no answer, so I left a message to call me back on my cell. I'm not looking to start any trouble and I wished that this never happened. I am not looking to get a lawyer, all I want is the truth and some answers. I feel I am entitled to that.

July 9, 201016 yr I have always heard (definitely not saying that makes it right), but have heard that if your door was cracked open then a police officer may enter without a warrant. So, I would imagine the same would be true if your garage door was open. Also, it may be different if the garage isn't attached to the house. Once again, just what I've heard, not sure if its entirely true. That's what I was thinking as well but can't remember for sure.
July 9, 201016 yr They would get shot in many homes if they were caught sliding under a garage door with no warning.
July 9, 201016 yr They would get shot in many homes if they were caught sliding under a garage door with no warning. Who said there was no warning given? The dogs?
July 9, 201016 yr Who said there was no warning given? The dogs? Ringing the door bell? That whole search warrant process?
July 9, 201016 yr Ringing the door bell? That whole search warrant process? No one was home, how do we know that this wasn't done?
July 9, 201016 yr No one was home, how do we know that this wasn't done? We don't. We just have the word of a neighbor who may or may not have seen everything. How far away was he when he saw this go down? As far as an attorney goes. Don't you have to be able to prove damages of some kind before filing a lawsuit? If the owner isn't home, were there damages? Can an attorney on here shed some light? I'd just like to get the whole story from both sides before offering up any kind of "this is what I would do..."
July 9, 201016 yr Just think if u was home wow! Easy way for someone to get seriously hurt from what I have heard sounds like they should have knocked on the door or went to your parents house sounds like the cop was lucky the dogs didn't catch them a midnight snack.
July 9, 201016 yr Author No one was home, how do we know that this wasn't done? My 22 year old daughter was in her room sleeping with her door locked. She heard the little dog inside bark but was to afraid to come out to see what was going on. My parents called her while this was going on but she did not answer because the cordless phone was outside of her room. I really do believe that they knocked on the door or rang the door bell. Why wouldn't they? IMO that was the first thing they had done.

I'd just like to get the whole story from both sides before offering up any kind of "this is what I would do..." The neighbor was my father and it's not to hard to see 2 men with flashlights crawl under and into my garage at 1:30 in the morning with no blue lights on the cruiser. What would any normal person think if this happened?
July 9, 201016 yr As far as an attorney goes. Don't you have to be able to prove damages of some kind before filing a lawsuit? If the owner isn't home, were there damages? Can an attorney on here shed some light? Let me get this straight. In your initial post, you say that contacting an attorney is ridiculous. In your second post, you ask for an attorney's opinion? That's too good. :lol:
