Just about everywhere a closed in porch like that is considered another room inside your home and taxed accordingly. So legally they were standing inside their home castle. They didn’t have to do or say jack, and when the officer went onto the porch he entered their private home without a warrant.
Well...depending on the local and state property tax, that is correct. They pay per Sq ft it is considered within the house.
As soon as he TOUCHED that person, that cop was also in violation.
Like I said. I do not know WTH they are teaching these kids these days in the academy, but they had better fire the GD instructors and start over.
