Does the law say “house” or “property”. If it says “property” it means a cop could be shot for ringing the doorbell.
Another question, how is the homeowner to know whether or not the cop is entering legally?
What the heck, I clicked on the article to find the answer to your first question, guessing you can, too.
As to the second, how indeed?
Or was yours a rhetorical question, and cops always do the right thing?
That's easy:
1. Cop rings doorbell.
2. Occupant answers door.
3. Cop shows occupant the warrant, and says "I am Officer So-and-so, and this is a warrant to search the premises at this address".
4. Occupant reads warrant to confirm correct address.
5. Cop enters to execute search warrant.
That's not so hard now, is it?
