Re: legal? As far as I know (and i'm not a lawyer), a police officer can knock on your door but w/o a warrant you don't have to open it and you don't have to let them in.
That said, if an officer approaches your home and says that he heard something and felt that the person inside was in emminent danger he has the legal right to kick your door in. I doubt they'd go to that extreme to lie and check your dogs tags LOL!
Unles they're busting people's doors in, they're not doing anything illegal as far as I know (again, i'm no expert). |
