The police entered my house when I had them called on me for having an outside fireplace. My front door was unlocked and I saw the lights from their cars so I walked to the front of my house. There I met with the fire capt and he and I walked thru my back gate. I thought the cop would follow but nope he walked thru my house, checked out my sons rooms and then walked down my back steps to the backyard. I asked him what right he had to come into my house and he said I am allowed to walk into your house as your front door was unlocked!! I didnt get in trouble for having the fireplace and I made sure to get a letter from the fire capt saying so as my neighbors hate my fireplace. I wanted to ask for the badge # of the cop but as we have 3 HD's in the garage I figured we would be targeted each time we rode. Now I keep all doors locked.
Man, I hope that never happens to me. I'm straight as an arrow, I don't do drugs, my firearms are registered and I'm honest to a fault. I mean, not a month or so ago, I found an extra 20 in the cash machine at local store and reported it to the owners(no one claimed it after a week, they gave it to me :)).
If a corrupt cop took my cash I can't imagine how I'd react to it. It's funny what happens when a nice guy gets pushed too far. They respond WAY WAY over the top and put a .22-250 round in the skull of the corrupt cop from 500 yards as he's getting out of his car at his house. Not saying that's how I'd react, only someone out of his mind would do such a thing.
>>Now I keep all doors locked.
The cop's action was completely unacceptable, but the above is good SOP anyway, I don't care where you live.
