Know Your Rights. Before Opening Your Door For Police, Make Sure To Do the Following First!
1) If an officer knocks on your door
Ask through the door if they have a warrant
2) If an officer DOES NOT have a warrant
Don't let them into your home
Say "I don't want to talk to you."
3) If the officers DO have a warrant
Ask the officers to slip it under the door or show it to you through a window
Ask if you are allowed to watch the search
If you are allowed to, you should take notes about the search
4) If you see a mistake on the warrant
FIRST - tell the officers about the mistake.
SECOND - Then say "I don't consent to the search," but do not interfere if the officers still do the search.
*If others are present, have them act as witnesses to watch carefully what is happening.*
