They still don’t have the right to enter your home without a warrant! So why do you think that she wasn’t charged and the officer resigned?

I don’t know about this tale; something smells rotten in Denmark.

Many years ago when we lived in Phoenix, I was awakened by a pounding on the front door. It was summer and we didn’t have AC so we slept on the living room floor. It was the coolest room in the house.
It was pretty early. My husband was in the shower. I had no clothes on (again, summer). Who ever was on the other side of the door was yelling “police, open up. I need to speak to you directly.”
Half asleep and buck naked, I wrapped a sheet around myself and opened the door. A very nice looking young cop was standing there. He took one look at me and his jaw dropped. He couldn’t talk for a moment, which annoyed me because I was pretty vulnerable..and nearly naked. He regained his composure and informed me that there had been a chemical spill and the neighborhood hood was being evacuated.
He never noticed that my one hand remained out of sight. Although half asleep, I exercised an aboundance of caution.
I thought it was funny how easily it is to distract a man, even one in uniform. Nothing was showing yet just the thought. On the other hand, he was distracted enough that I had time to do some damage if I wanted to.
Now days, it’s hard to tell how cops are going to react. It’s a double edged sword kijnd of thing. No trust any more.

I like my solution better. Any settlements are paid out of the police pension fund. Why not both?

I submit that cops and all gov’t agents should have to personally pay for their own liability insurance, just as doctors have to buy malpractice insurance.
Let the insurance companies, through their rates, weed out the bad actors.
Of course, this would take a few lawsuits in order for a bad apple to be removed.

Its not about the equipment they have, its about the attitude shift of considering someone an enemy as opposed to a suspect.
Definitely an attitude shift, last 2 encounters I had with state police here in MD were definitely cops with attitude problems. (1) Pulled over half mile from my house on way to work at 6am (I am in my 60s, suit and tie for work). Cop walks up to car, states his name and says something that I didn't hear and I say "excuse me?" because I didn't hear him. He states I better lose the attitude real quick and I go what?? Explain to him that I didn't hear him but no difference, he gives me a ticket(not an inspection tix) for rear tag light out (yes, TAG light, $70). (2) Early AM, State cop in WaWa, making a 20 oz coffee, spills it all over the counter and floor, says nothing to anyone, makes another and walks out.
Bugs me that my opinion of LEOs has dropped to the level it has, but its a direct result of this 'holier than thou' attitude that have become so prevalent over the past 10,15 yrs, IMO.

If it was my ex wife, it wouldn’t be much in pension checks for him.
To: Does so
And, she went to the door in a towel!
I think lawmakers should pass a law that cops won’t do domestics anymore because women and men are equal so no one needs protection.
Let’s see if women stop being so mean.

All it means is you’d get cops who don’t care if they get sued.
Real family men would not risk being a cop.

They’d care because if they couldn’t get malpractice insurance, they couldn’t be cops.

What can't you understand?
Good men would not want to become cops if they were risking their entire futures.
You would only get bad men who have nothing of value to risk.
Have you noticed that doctors are leaving the profession due to over regulation?
Your plans sound very like Obama’s: America is bad, cops are bad, regulate it all at the federal level.

I don’t know what crime was committed. Maybe none.
Now you answer. What should those cops have done when the woman answered the door in a towel?
If you can’t answer, I’ll understand.

“I dont know what crime was committed. Maybe none.”
Let me try it a different way then, what REQUIRED such response by the cop?

Then why aren’t you mad at the lawmakers for forcing the cops to go to the house?
All you have is emotion, but no logic.
See my post #50.
