“Ain’t giving up rights grand?”
Your assertion is false. Nobody gave up their rights. The citizens had no problem with the police coming in their homes, so that the police could ensure the terrorist wasn’t hiding there or had taken hostagss.
A warrant is not required unless there is an objection to a search. Nobody demanded a warrant, so no rights were violated.
The reasonable person understood the police were there to help them and eliminate a serious threat.
Lets see, 100 cops are pointing their guns at me and want to come in hmmmmmmm
nobody gave up their rights, pffttt
A little lesson on the law: Allowing police to come into your home, even if it’s just for a new officer to introduce him/herself, is silent consent. If the officer sits down on your couch, feels something funny, pulls your unregistered revolver from the seat cushions, you’re in trouble. The same can happen in your vehicle. The cop pulls you over, asks you to get out, and starts going through your trunk. You have nothing to hide so why protest! You don’t say no so by doing so you’re saying yes. He finds your teenage son’s friend’s bag of weed. Guess who’s going to jail for this? I just took part in a huge Bill of Rights high school assembly. These scenarios are exactly the examples that the lawyers presented. If those cops saw anything in those houses, the fact that the residents let them in to look for a terrorist is irrelevant.
