House to house searches

[strider12]

I have never said that individuals do not have the right to refuse a search without a warrant. I said that in some circumstances it is in the best interest of society, and individuals, for individuals to not choose to exercise specific rights. I'm also pointing out that choosing to not exercise a particular right in a given situation does not infringe upon, or eliminate, that right at any other time.

Dude, where do you live? WTF. I have never disagreed with a statement any more than I do this one.

No one can tell me how allowing them to search a home that I know is secure helps.

I can't imagine any member on here not having a gun on his hip and a rifle in his hands if a terrorist was on the run in the area. It is pretty easy in Boston where legal gun ownership is relatively low but how many firearms would be "secured" for officer safety in GA?

The only folks I let into my house are dead hookers and A/C guys.

What benefit is it to the citizen to temporarily allow an infringement of their rights? Or more accurately, a search without probable cause or a warrant.

I would be happy to let A police officer walk through my house to make sure there is not a person in there.

That is if the officer is one if my friends that work for cobb or smyrna PD. but unless its one of my personal friends no other LE is searching my house without a warrant.

If it were your buddy, he would probably take your word for it.

Let's see, maybe that unidentified girl in the hypothetical is the homeowner's niece and he gets to see her alive again since he didn't make them spend additional time trying to rule him out as the suspect and rescued her in time. So I guess preventing the death of a family member could be a benefit

Be careful with the latter.

I'll save them the time, and assist in the search.

Have to keep the dead hookers cold. No choice.
