It is an interesting question. But it appears that the officer had a valid arrest warrant. If that is the case, officers have the right to a limited intrusion into the residence to arrest the suspect.

We are tired of all the vehicles blocking our neighbors in and all the foot traffic and obvious drug use in the vehicles. The drive way is shared by 3 houses, so basically it... Read more »

10 years ago I was charged with domestic violence but was never seen in court. Since then I have cleaned up my act and have been happily married with same women. I have never had domestic violence but do have 1 violent crime and drug charges. How will they see my case or how much time
answered on Mar 4, 2015

You may want to talk to a civil attorney about suing your ex-boyfriend for your share of the value of the car if he is not willing to work it out any other way. You may also want to talk the civil attorney about your credit card issue.
