Can cop break into your car without a warrranty?

I am in a school university, I park off some line that I didn't suppose to because I didn't know and there were so many people who didn't. Well the cop somehow unlocked my car and able to put the ticket on my seat... Just wonder if I can sue him for this because this showed stupid power that they can do.

Sorry I mean warrant

how do you know it was the cop, it might have been someone who walked by and took the ticket from the outside and put it inside. You would probably get asked that in court.

that's a warrant, not a warranty

and PROVE your car was locked - I'll bet not only was it unlocked, but the door was WIDE open.

don't ''f'' with the cops

You will have to prove they did, can you?

Your car was probably unlocked to begin with and you were just to college-drunk to remember.

Should have gotten the extended warranty on the car

Did you say your car is without a warranty? It might cost you. But, if your car is still under warranty, you can take it in to get that noise looked at for free.

I don't know about anyone else but if it's my car, I should be the one with the warrenty, not the cop....or anyone else. That is unless they wanna pay for the warrenty.

If the car is new, the warrenty should still be in affect, moreso if you purchased an extended warrenty. But why would a cop need a warrenty on your car in order to break into it?

oooohhhh you meant to say a "warrent".....nevermind.....LOL

when will you people start thinking is your memory so short you don't remember when Clinton came on T,V, and asked for authority to search the gov, housing projects for drugs or guns on the preface they could get rid of them before they could go and get a warrant? that was a damned lie, a cop in hot pursuit has always been able to go into a house , car or any where else with out a warrant or even the plain sight doctoring gave them this authority, some states don't permit it , but it is a federal law the cops can search your house , car or any where they like without a warrant,even your person so the 4th amendment is not really worth a sh.. thanks to Billy boy

a 90 day or a lifetime warranty?

I don't know if you could sue but if anyone including a police officer enter your car it is completely illegal. Yes if you are parked illegally you get a ticket,but does not give a police officer the right to enter your vehicle as it is private property.But i have know doubt the officer will say the door was already unlocked when he arrived.The officer could in theory enter the car but would need probable cause,being parked incorrectly is not cause to enter the car.Was the car locked when you returned to it,if so would almost prove it was entered illegally then relocked.GOOD LUCK

If your car was locked and he forced entry without a search warrant, he was wrong and it's considered illegal search and seizure.

This is most likely the parking department not the police,

But most likely your car was unlocked, they would not open the car to put a ticket inside of it.
