I’m currently searching for some information about this topic as well. I have relatives that abuse this law just because they get bored or angry with my mother. I live at my mother’s house and have been harassed by police more than 10 times (I’ve lost count). I’ve had them run me for warrants and ask me if my license is valid (which it is). I haven’t even had a speeding ticket in 13 years, am college educated, and don’t associate with anyone who has a criminal record. Yet, I’m treated like I’m some kind of criminal in my own house. I just wonder how many times the same person can cry wolf. Can I send the cops to my enemies’ door on Christmas, and say it was because I was worried. If I can, this law is in need of reform.

Hmm, that sure sounds like the cop was feeding you a line of BS, but what can you do? It’s not going to end up in court, and even if it did, the cop doesn’t have to agree with your version of what happened.

I’m kind of curious how a welfare check goes too. I had police come to my house today looking for my brother who has a warrant for his arrest. While I was talking to one of them at my back door (who wouldn’t let me shut it and go to the front) another officer came in my front door. He claimed he could do this because if the door isn’t locked he can do a welfare check. This is after I heard the officer at the back tell him he was talking to me. oh and its also before ANYONE asked if they could come in.
