Warrantless searches are "fishing expeditions". They didn't get a warrant because they didn't know what they are looking for.
The cop or inspector says "I have to use the bathroom" and most home-owners will tell them where it is and give them privacy.
Anything they see they can be used as the basis for a warrant and they can come back and seize it. If they see an empty .22 casing or an unsecured kitchen knife or screwdriver or any text they interpret as "hateful or inciteful", they can ask for a warrant and come back to "collect it as evidence" to initiate legal proceedings against you.
If they ask to use the bathroom, inform them where the closest McDonalds is and tell the to return after they use-the-loo. If they complain about the amount of time it will take, inform them that their small bladder and lack of planning is not YOUR problem.
People need to stop registering their children with the .gov. Never let them in without a Warrant! If they have a Warrant demand to see it and read it before you allow or refuse them. An amazing number of Warrants are executed at the wrong address or for the wrong person.
ReplyDeleteWe have political prisoners being tortured without charges. We have a former president being "tried", but not permitted to access evidence or witnesses in his defense.
DeleteWe do *not* have the rule of law.
Never let them in *with* a warrant.
Don't get on the boxcars.
Seriously, the whole relationship is inverted. THEY work for US. Why the f^$#& aren't we stringing these SOBs from lamp posts by now?
DeleteIt is depressingly common for police to claim that their particular situation doesn't require a warrant, especially if it's "for the children".
ReplyDeleteThis is yet another time that I think it's good to live somewhere with as little law enforcement as possible.

Delete2024 will be the end of America unless we save it before the end of the year. But having the election is very questionable.---ken
ReplyDeleteNope, its toast. Prepare for a crash landing.
DeleteHmm. Registration lists. If only I could remember where I had seen this before historically...
ReplyDeleteDoes OSHA do warrantless searches?
ReplyDeleteNo. Typically OSHA will arrive, ask to speak to the HMFIC and then explain the purpose of their visit and ask for the employers assistance so as not to put the inspector or employees working in the workplace at risk of injury. Employers are free to deny entry and require a warrant. Judges have no hesitation providing warrants when requested.
DeleteThey should not be in your home in the first place. Once you invite them past the threshold, your options are limited. Talk through a window or better yet, tell them to send a letter you will forward to legal counsel. There are no friendly conversations.
ReplyDeleteDitto. The Fifth and the Fourth are real things.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that I recollect a Michigan case circa 1990's where a property owner refused entry onto his property to a real estate assessor employed by the county. The county, of course, claimed they had a right to enter the property without a warrant. Can't recall what the end result of that was.
ReplyDeleteUp to the 90s Minnesota conservation officers had 'statutory authority' to enter ice fishing houses without a warrant. Finally a judge stopped that practice.
DeleteThe assessor can walk around outside but cannot enter if you say No. Problem is he/she/whatever might decide that you have marble floors and gold plated kitchen counters and assess your value accordingly. To correct that you will have to let him in to make corrections. Best to let him in or say you have covid.--ken
