Walk It Through: The Police At The Door
A knock about a roommate, two occupants who disagree, and an arrest inside.
Officers knock asking to come in and look around for a roommate's stolen bike.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One apartment. Searches with a search warrant, protective sweeps, probation searches and the emergency aid entry are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
