This morning I received multiple links and copies of this video that’s been circulating, showing a West Virginia State Trooper, in what appears to be inside a family’s home without a warrant. Apparently it was originally posted to Tik Tok, and then removed for some reason. It appears to involve a police response to a church traffic cone, which resulted in the homeowner apparently banging on the church’s door at some point. This trooper shows up, walks in the guy’s home, admittedly without a warrant, and without permission. Then the trooper makes a move on the phone, followed by some sort of altercation at the end. Here’s the video, then I’ll address some legal issues which I see.
Is a warrant required? If not, is there an applicable exception?

Smart ass trooper…i wouldn't have said anything, would have gotten on the phone and called 911..intruder, then called lawyer…kept quiet and continued to record..then sued..
This 🐖 is still a trooper. His sty just burned down and there’s a gofundme for him.
Trooper has been fired, indicted and his home burned to the ground allegedly by a “dryer fire.” Did this Trooper put his family in danger by his arrogance?
If this dude is still on the job he wont be for long… We the People are NOT going to tolerate this fn tyranny. So the cop thinks it’s against the law to knock on the door of a church! He’s going to F’n find out! “You wont raise your voice to me!” YOU WANN FN BET SCUMBAG!
YOU VILL NOT RAISE ZEE VOICES! holy crap…this shit is dangerous
WTF is going on with the state police??
What an arrogant, ignorant jackass.
Sue you ? Oh no you illegally entered my house me suing you is the last thing you should be worried about because something much worse is about to happen to you
He resigned and was sued but i don't remember how it went. His name is Trooper Wiseman.
Apparently his house burned down
This cop thinks everybody is out to shoot him. In reality it’s his mentality of the thin blue line. (us vs them)
He said he was recording but wasn’t?
This is one reason why qualified immunity needs to be repealed
This cop is stuttering and fumbling and shaking throughout this, he is clearly way to emotionally sensitive to be a cop. He clearly gets his feelings hurt
It’s a shame the homeowner was as nervous as he was, (understandably) but he could have easily disarmed this egocentric sociopaths attitude with some very easy statements, but I get it. This is super stressful
Clearly he knew he would not be held accountable
Why don't you put this name in the title? It would help future employers discover his background.
psycho
"Go sue." yeah sure since the citizens pay for the lawsuit and the police don't.
come busting in my house, click-PEW PEW PEW
He broke that man's finger by slamming his door on it…He entered the man's home illegally, he had no warrant and that's exactly what 2a is for! Come in my house withput a warrant you're going out feet first!!;
PERFECT EXAMPLE of why losing qualified immunity for civil suits IS NOT ENOUGH!!! THEY DON'T CARE because they consequences do not fall on them. The dept/city pays the suits with tax payer monies. That does nothing in curbing misconduct within these GANGS. This former trooper's house just burnt to the ground. I believe he was fired. Makes me wonder if they were having money trouble. Weird time of year for a fire that bad. Hmmm……. Wouldn't put something like that past this guy. He is a complete DOUCHE!
Trooper Rick Wiseman, gets fired, then loses his house in a fire. Sounds like karma.
This is exactly why Americans today don’t trust police
"officers getting shot every single day" they literally aren't.
Somehow this guy is still a trooper. I used to really respect the WVSP but they are as dirty as any other government agency
I am really trying to find words for what this cops actions in this video mean.
Police safety and suspicion are two things cops throw around freely like as if they can use them to do whatever they want.
This cop never should have been allowed to pass as acceptable, just to join the police academy, let alone getting accepted as a police officer.
How does a tyrant like this cop pass the academy and given the job as a police officer.
Why is it always WV?
I see armed intruders in your home. Act accordingly
Dashcam, I suspect. Police lie, deal with it.
The car may be pointed at the doorway. Next thought, did he have an active mic w/ BT or wifi to the recorder in the vehicle?
West Virginia seems to have a lot of rogue officers
Get a warrant! You'll be arrested anyway. These are the types of cops that make all cops look bad.
This is why people need to be able to defend themselves, instead of get assaulted by police.
Shocking the effect religion has on some cops….
Society gave the police this authority because of the 50 year "war on drugs". I watched it all happen. You will never change the damage you have created.
This cop is an unhinged lunatic!
