The cops were wrong here, but so were the daycare owners. If the employee really was not there, why not let the cops in to have a quick look see and then split. The sight of police officers walking through the daycare and then out quietly, Im sure would not have traumatized the kids.It seems the daycare owners were trying to start something, and the cops by being stupid and pushy let them.

Then you would have no problem having the cops at will stop and search your car or house in case there was anything in there that might be illegal or left there by someone else that was illegal.

They weren't uniformed. Remember the stories of the home-invasion robbers posing as police officers?

Don't EVER let the cops in for a "look around." If they want to get you they might just "find" a bag of drugs or an unregistered drop-gun. Then you are toast.

For an $80 traffic ticket??? Are there no bad guys? This is really over the top.

--in the article the lady said plain clothes, no presented ID I am presuming, and they have had trouble with weirdoes trying to get in before. A common tactic now for badguys breaking into places is just to say they are 'the police" and that's supposed to be enough. No, it ain't enough, they all have gotten too big for their britches the last ten years or so, outta control. They have completely lost any notion of 'right and wrong" they are only interested in giving orders and throwing their weight around mostly. Sadly, the good ones left in cop-dom are getting out, I've talked to several, they refuse to do this nazi-like crap anymore and have quit.

ummmm how about because they had no search warrant?? or doesn't the Constitution mean anything to you? They showed no paperwork.. why should the daycare people let them in? If someone claiming to be plainclothes police came to your door demanding to be let in..would you just open the door? You are NO libertarian, that's for sure..I believe the Generation X part though.
