Two words, probable cause.

And what crime was probably being committed in the house that would give the cop cause to bust the door down? I have no love of criminals or druggies but I expect the cops to at least follow the law, it is called due process.

Probable cause of what?

Jones was wanted on a probation violation..
Torres was not..
Jones was arrested outside the house..
There was no "probable cause" to enter the house..

Torres has/had the right to require a search warrant before allowing police to enter and search his house.

I suspect that Torres will be found innocent, and the police dept. and the city will have to pay damages and compensation..
