Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important thing to do if police come to your door?

The most important rule is to not talk to any law enforcement officer or federal agent. You have a right to remain silent and are not obligated to speak with them. Engaging with them can potentially worsen your situation.

Should I open my door if police are knocking?

No, you are not obligated to open your door for law enforcement. You can communicate through the door. Opening the door or letting them in can be seen as consent and may compromise your rights, potentially leading to issues like plain view observations.

What should I do if police want to enter my home?

You should never consent to a search or allow officers into your home. If they have a legitimate reason to be there, they must obtain a search warrant or arrest warrant. Consenting can lead to significant legal trouble.

Why is it important to stay inside my home when police are present?

Remaining inside your home preserves your expectation of privacy and your Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Leaving your home puts you in a situation with fewer protections and can create new complications.
