Lacking information. Why a 5 a.m. knock on the door? Sounds more like swatting than protective step. And timing seems like intended to create escalating situation. While I think there are right time and place for these laws, they can be misused. Maybe they could have approached the guy as or after he left the house, de-escalate a confrontation? Police won’t be held accountable, but they should be.
