Walk It Through: The Knock at the Door

Officers at the door with no warrant shown, a roommate who says come in, and a warrant that names a person.

Two officers knock and ask to come in and look around. No warrant is shown.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Police at a rented home with no emergency. A search warrant for property, a probation search and a business are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
