[AZ] cop illegally enters home, arrests naked woman: ‘I was in the shower! What is wrong with you?’
NY Daily News ^ | July 16, 2015 | Meg Wagner

An Arizona cop barged into a woman’s home while she was in the shower and handcuffed her as she stood naked and sopping wet, according to a lawsuit.

Officer Doug Rose lectured an unclothed, sobbing Esmeralda Rossi in front of her daughter and told her he was in charge, even though she was in her own home. Even as an investigation determined that Rose illegally entered the home, the policeman managed to retire and start collecting his pension.

-snip-

“Don’t take the attitude with cops, because we don’t play,” Rose said. “When a cop shows up, you’re not the one in charge. I don’t care if this is your house.”

-snip-

Investigators probed the case and determined Rose entered the home illegally and without probable cause. He also didn’t fully document what happened: the fact that Rossi was naked was never reported. There is also no mention of Rossi’s “arrest” in his police report.

Amid the investigation, Rose retired from the force. He received a pension from the department.

I asked what crime was committed, you sidestepped it.
SO I asked what happened that REQUIRED that response by the cop.
Same question, different wording.

No crime was committed. The cop should go to jail for life.

Now, what SHOULD the cops have done when she opened the door?

Is it ever okay for a cop to break the law?
Your premise is that they SHOULD take action, the situation did not require action at all.

Why are you so afraid?

You believe this: When she closed the door on the cops, they should have driven away.

The internal investigation found that the cop broke the law by entering the home. What do you think Officer Rose should have done?

All I can say, from experience, is that UPS and FedEx guys have seen amazing things. Good thing we only had 90 seconds to get to the next delivery.

she resisted arrest. those that resist arrest suffer the consequence

From the article: "There is also no mention of Rossi’s “arrest” in his police report."

Can you share with us how you "resist arrest" when you haven't been arrested?
