I’d like to be on the jury, in a case like this there is no difference in uniformed armed military or uniformed armed police and having no warrant does make a difference. This was not an emergency situation but a surveliance situation. To be forced to cooperate at gunpoint is not being asked to cooperate. I would personally like to cooperate if possible with police but leaving my home and turning it over to them overa domestic dispute appears to unreasonable. This sounds to me that more than likely a high up in the department suspects a spouse, boy or girlfriend of sleeping around. Surveliance over a domestic dispute seems “over the top”
Isn't it a bit late to be closing the barn door?
My thinking, too. Pinhole cameras and recording devices could do that trick without occupying the neighbor's house, but it is so seldom that domestic disputes garner this much attention from police departments.

Bingo--or someone's sister is married to a creep. (or someone is holding out on 'the man', and they want to nail them for it).

Yep.
