Someone sent me another interesting video from Tik Tok, this time showing cops making an entry into a home pursuant to a search warrant, guns drawn, due to the alleged high crime of failure to obtain a building permit. You can hear them yell search warrant and then abruptly make entry, which is very close to a no knock entry. There is a constitutional requirement that police officer knock and announce their presence prior to making entry, even with a valid search warrant. There are exceptions for where a no knock warrant is obtained, or where exigent circumstances are presented at the scene, assuming the dangerousness presented wasn’t known prior to the warrant being obtained.

They did a lot of announcing themselves cuz it was BS
They don't want our hearts and minds , they want US to FEAR THEM.
Texas has the worst building codes of any state, but if they want their buildings insured, they build to the same codes as any other state.
Is there any update on this?
The video is interesting; however, it only tells part of the story.
When an Administrative Warrant is requested, it is part of weeks, if not months, of investigation. There is a paper trail, which includes telephone logs, visits to the property, and letters to the dwelling owner. After all means have been exhausted, then it goes to legal counsel for review and advisement on the next step. Sometimes, a Court hearing may be requested, and at that time, the government agency may request an Administrative Warrant.
So why the armed officers? It is simple. The Administrative Warrant [generly] states the government agency shall conduct a review of the property based on the language of the warrant. This protects the owner's Fourth Amendment rights.
So, how do you serve an Administrative Warrant? To do this, you need a highly trained law enforcement agency that is prepared to enter a property before any Building Official goes in. That means guns are drawn until the Officers can determine the property is safe for the Building Official.
Also, to clarify, the owner, if they had shown up, would have been questioned; however, NOT shot. The only way a Law Enforcement officer may discharge their firearm is if they feel their life or other lives are in danger.
So my comment to you is to follow the law of the community you live in or move.
The search warrant wasn’t to arrest anyone or did they have any information that the owner was armed and dangerous.
I wish I could afford to move to a free country but I can't. I am stuck in the USA in fear for my life. The alphabet sectors of government have become Nazi storm troopers and roadside thieves that are not afraid to kill you for minor traffic violations. SMH, what happened to this country 😪?
Ever since 9/11 things have changed. The Feds doled out $millions to state and local police departments to buy military grade equipment and hire many more officers. This has led to many low quality cops on the street with the latest military weapons, armored personnel carriers etc. This is a deadly combination.
the ann frank comment means the cops are possibly descendants of nazi war criminals.
What? building permit, I'm confused. What are they looking for? what was she building? A Meth Lab
this is a new hip thing for code enforcement in my home town also, they get to call in their own militia.
So, this imbecile believes he's now a expert building inspector….because he's a cop!
He should be promoted to being an inmate!
I saw this on another channel, the officers were to contact the owner and schedule a time the owner was there according to the court document. It was also retaliation for some handwritten signs derogatory to the local government.
It's not just you my friend I would also fire and not replace them
What an idiot this guy is, he went to school, then went to law school, then had to pass the bar exam to practice law in his state and his great idea is no one. No other profession, or trade should be required to do that just him ask him if he wants to do away with all bar, exams and school tests and all that stupidity you should be able to just call yourself a lawyer and represent people
This kind of bullshit goes all the time in Pasco in Hernando County. The cops are basically uneducated, hillbilly rednecks and yes, they will lie to obtain a search warrant.
What judge would sign this type of search warrant. Very curious!
🤬🤏🐖👮🏼🪱👮🏻🪱👮🏼♀️💩👺
James Thurber wrote a story about people like this. The fat guy cops and the middle age soccer mom women cops are living their own fantasy lives at our expense. If there was anyone dangerous in the house they never would have gone in. They probably posted online how brave they all are. Walter Mitty lives
Police state. It's definitely unreasonable
Home is your castle ! I protect my home with #4 buckshot ! Had sad would it be if cops were killed or seriously wounded over a building inspection warrant ? Make no mistake we live in a police state ! They can kill,beat, harass, stalk, ilegally arrest you and never be charged or repraimanded ! Thats is definition of a police state .
Yeah I agree, the government needs a serious downsizing. The federal government was never meant to be like this. State too, they are almost just as bloated.
Stupid move on the city’s side. No reason to go to court for a warrant. Just refuse electrical, gas, water and sewer service until they get permits and pass inspections.
As the population grows everything grows. I disagree with your philosophy of less or no government. We need government to build and protect. It's not perfect and it should be monitored and changed as necessary.
I gotta be honest, I will never get an attorney to represent me in court. But you as an individual, you have a good heart and do post good honest content and are fair, which goes to show you that there are good people in this world that truly want to help people. Thank you for the videos
some Nazi Gestapo SS troopers in this city ready to kill because they didn't get payed to get their permission to build or remodel a home
I've said it a thousand times.
REENFORCE YOUR DOORS!
Seriously folks, it should be easier for them to tunnel in under the house than it is to get through the front door.
This is seriously scary that not 1 of those cops said “what the hell are we about to do” before leaving the station. 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️🤬
Where did this happen?
I live in California where building permits are required, or so I thought. After some minor research, I found that permits are only needed if the property belongs to the county and does not apply to private property. I was threatened with daily fines, inspection fees, and the destruction and removal of my building at my expense from the county enforcement department. I marked all their paperwork void and sent it back and asked to see the law showing proof of their claims against me. The county lawyers went silent on me and I never heard from them again. That was 17 years ago, just lucky I suppose.
