42 USC 1983.  The homeowner can file an action under this section of law.  The payoff will be huge.  The city will move to settle immediately because there is no defense here for the officer’s actions.  The officer should be fired.  Major blatant 4A violation.  

I think the officer confused vampire rules (a vampire cannot enter your home unless you invite him in) with search warrants.  Just a joke of course, but a vampire wouldn’t have entered be cause he wasn’t invited, and even though LE may control comings and goings during a search warrant, they certainly don’t own the home.   This moron cop was neither a vampire nor had a warrant.  

Fuck that cop.

No, the minor wasn’t in distress.  The cop had zero PC.  He didn’t even have reasonable suspicion (he observed no noise when he arrived and a report to dispatch gives him nothing as soon as he found there was no noise.  

Let me make this easy for you, the cop trampled that woman’s 4A rights.  Like obliterated them.  He then cemented the deal by placing her under arrest under false pretenses, yet another 4A violation.  I have been in LE for over 30 years.  This one is so easy, a caveman could figure it out.  

How it should have happened:

- Cop arrives to investigate noise complaint.  Heard nothing after observing for a minute or so.  Cop leaves and calls it in as unfounded.  Maybe goes and talks to the complaining party in person and finds out what the problem really is in case the complaint is called in again.

That cop went from zero to retard as soon as he knocked on the door.

You got that backwards, body cams were supposed catch all the cops doing dirty things.  A big push came for them after the Michael Brown case.  They have ended up showing more criminals acting like criminals.  This case didn’t involve a body cam.  The idiot cop was filmed violating the homeowner’s 4A rights by someone in the house.  Good thing too.  The homeowner will be getting a huge payout for it.

That’s because you were 100% correct.  A resisting arrest charge cannot stand on its own.  There has to be a predicate offense.  Resisting arrest, aka “contempt of cop”, is way overused and dismissed frequently.

Always respected most law enforcement for doing a difficult job but was wary about a lot of the unconstitutional practices and casual violation of civil rights.
COVID BS enforcement while tolerating rioting and looting from other demographics shifted my cautious optimism about the profession to just acknowledging that we doing this anarchotyranny thing now and police are not here to help.

Get a storm door and keep it locked.  Then speak to the officer through that door.  

Once you open the door and they cross the barrier, they will charge you with battery on a police officer if you try and bar their entry.

The officer was a dick, and deserves to be fired, but he will prevail in court.

Homeowner demands cop leaves, cop says he owns the house if he is standing inside and that he doesn't have to leave. Officer then drags woman outside and arrests her for contempt of cop.

At what point is the cop an armed home invader? What could possibly justify this thinking?

I haven’t watched the video, but I’ve had to sit thru enough 4th amendment classes/videos that I bet it’s a violation. Sue the officer and the County for this in federal court. That’s where it will carry weight.

Police have the exigent circumstance rule. Entering a home because the child left the door open isn’t an invitation to enter and doesn’t fit the exigent circumstance rule. Period.

If a wife and husband open the door together and one says come in and the other says you cannot, you cannot, without exigent circumstance. What is exigent circumstance? Violent domestic 911 call where “he is stabbing me” is heard screamed and no one will open the door….door will get kicked down. No time to obtain a judge signed warrant.

If more "good" cops were willing to speak up about "bad" cops, public perception would change.

I'm NOT saying that all or even most cops would do the same thing. What I AM saying is that if they say or do nothing to the contrary, it at least implies that they're OK with it. I

I live in a "cop town" and have overheard multiple instances of cops at kids' sporting events openly discussing how they have pulled over cops for drunk driving and sent them on their way. Now, I don't drink, so I don't care about inequal treatment,  but I DO care about potentially being on the road with some liquored up cop. And to openly discus it within earshot of children!?!

I have seen countless instances on Arfcom where cops will even take it a step further and defend bad behavior.

I don’t understand why people open the door for strangers, let alone ones with badges. Just don’t let him in.

What is he going to do, kick your door in over a noise complaint? Let him try to explain that. If the cops are at your door for a reason that’s actually bad enough to justify forcing entry, then make them do it - you’re already fucked anyway well beyond the cost of repairing your door.

1983 would be a self driven civil suit and good luck with that without some kind of civil rights group/ interested lobby (religious, gun, abortion, etc.) footing the bill since going to spend years just fighting qualified immunity defenses most likely.

Federal criminal charges would be under Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law  or similar and pretty much guaranteed not to happen with the current DOJ.

The tax payers are going to get raped.

Taking settlements & judgements from the Department's Pension pool ....  and soon Officers & Deputies would be motivated to sort out their own "bad apples" much sooner.

It’s called a Biven’s action, and It would def. be a part of my lawsuit in this case, in federal court.

Disregard, Biven’s action appears to pertain to fed LEO.
