Can cops enter your backyard without a warrant.?
|
I was at a party last night and the cops entered the backyard with their flashlights etc. I don't have a problem with them breaking up the party, I'm just curious if noise problems are enough probable cause to just enter a backyard without being let in nor even trying to get in through the front.

If they had a call at that residence they can enter the property. If they observed illegal activity occurring on private property while they were on public property then they can. If they have probable cause (information that would lead a reasonable person to believe a crime is occurring) to believe a crime is being committed then they can. |

yes they can... they can come into your house if they have reasonable suspicion and they know beyond a reasonable doubt that there is a danger of life or limb... |

Yes, if a complaint has been received, and they believed a law was being broken. They could also enter if they were in persuit of a felon. |

If the neighbors called the police because of noise, and disturbing the peace, yes they can. Because your neighbors have a right to peace and quite. They weren't in the party mood. Police can do whatever they want when they want. Remember John Q.? |

Yes. Cops can enter a backyard without a warrant. They can also enter inside a personal domicle (home/apartment) without one using "probable cause". Warrants are just needed for when they are trying to seize something, someone, or perform wire taps. Even that isn't needed if it falls under the patriot act. |

they can do what ever they want as long as we keep letting the government constantly take away more rights. you should be glad they didn't beat or shoot anyone. |
