2. Can a police officer enter my property without a warrant?

However, there are some exceptions. According to Scharff Law Firm, police officers are entitled to enter someone’s home without their consent if they can actually “see evidence within their sightline” that something’s wrong. It’s best just to give them your consent…

This was very well done. Even with the ‘millions’ of pop-up ad, the info was speedy without long delays. This is how all the gigs should be! Good job. BTW, I did have time to check out some of the products.

Thank you,
