What to Do When Police Come to Your Door 

Exactly. Disconnect the doorbell.

I don't have a doorbell

@@yodaflyz i don't have a door

@@dundundata7603 😂😂😂

What happens if u crack the door open and the cop sticks his foot in the door jam preventing u to close your door. Then what ?

I am an attorney and I approve of this advice.

If your DEFENSE attorney asks whether you "did it", then do not answer and IMMEDIATELY FIRE THAT ATTORNEY. There is no reason to disclose that information to anyone. Your attorney's job is to keep you out of the defendant's chair, keep the govt honest and win an acquittal by using the govt's evidence.

@@MgtowRubicon Probably true sometimes, but not always. I can think of a lot of circumstances where that info would help me do a better job in defending my client ... ie a case where the prosecution has an overwhelming case against my client. Not every case is winnable and sometimes damage control is what is in the best interest of your client. As Kenny Rodgers said, "You got to know when ta hold em, know when to fold em."

@@MgtowRubicon Your attorney is actually suppose to get you the best the deal. Depending on the situation, evidence,etc...... So keep that in mind.

Absolutely correct......I don't know you and you don't know me, so that makes you a stranger and I don't open the door for any stranger.

Yep

@Rick Christopher they could state we smell drugs

@Rick Christopher WRONG ... do not talk to the police

Don’t open the door and don’t talk to the police. If they have a search warrant to enter the cops will enter right away (okay maybe in a minute or so). Just talking to them the cops escalate. Opening the door the cops put their foot in the way so you can’t close it.

They may also claim they smell weed or something else to justify exigent circumstances.

Opening the door makes it hard to get rid of the cops. Most cops put their foot in the way of the door closing. They can lie and say they see this or smell that to legally enter even if illegal. You can fight the illegal acts in court but you were still violated. Most of the time the cops end up leaving if no answer to enter your home.

No, you don't have to hide from them.

LoL, yes I was going to ask for the statute in his state for “jerks go to jail”. It might be a great state to live in.

In other words don't give them a reason to stay any longer than they can by being disrespectful

Good story, but don't be afraid to use a little punctuation once in a while. 😊

@@joel6427 LOL! Thanks, Joel! 😁

You don't have to hate the police. Thing is if you're a targeted individual, you might need to be more reserved

Yeah fight fire with fire that’s always worked so well for our progression as a society 🤙🏻 you’re a piece of shit well tWo cAn pLaY tHaT gAMe. *screams for peace*

It costs nothing to be polite, even if someone else isn't.

You don't have to do that. I would just go about my business and ignore them. If they get really loud and insistent, tell them to get off your property.

I like that

Stay strong and continue to deny access. You may call the station and ask to speak to a supervisor. As I told Tom in an earlier response, what you don't want to do is allow them to create an exigency to enter your home without a warrant, which can happen, if they believe you are going to "destroy evidence" or another alleged exigency.

Tom, ask them to come back with a warrant and deny them access to your home. Officers may enter a residence, if they believe exigency exists to escalate the situation. So, stay calm and politely ask them to leave. You may call a police station directly and ask to speak to a supervisor, if nothing else works.

And the badge wearing COWARDS may very well be LYING to you, in order to intimidate you, REMEMBER that the pig is 'trained' to lie, just as they are 'trained, to IMMEDIATELY escalate the encounter in order to intimidate you.

lol, that's great. Can I use that joke?

@@Legal_Cannon Hope you do!!!

Boo hoo,, sounds like you're a victim of your self,, I'm 59 yo and never been homeless,, grow up, get a job, stop being a drain on society

@@wakeup6910 man wtf are talking about u know nothing about me i just got a job the other day and got fired for bringing my bags because i dont have a house or apartment people are scared to give me jobs because they know i will be a sucess not lazy you dont see where im coming from i should not have been kicked out in the first place

wouldn't put it past the cops to fake a wellness check

@@lordraydens Yes, especially the police here in Claremore, Oklahoma. You can research people like Officer John Singer, the legel issues that the Roger County Sheriff and his jail have brought on themselves. Which if you go through microscope of truth on Facebook. You will find different court documents and news articles about the ongoing problems with the entire government including the police.

Proven fact that wellness checks have gotten people killed in their own homes. I told all of my family, don’t you ever call a well check on me if you can’t get hold of me. Come see about me yourselves. Do not send the gestapo to my house. 😁👍🏼🇺🇸

In what twisted world does it make sense to call men with guns to check on someone's "well-being"? If they weren't OK to begin with, they probably won't be after the cops get there, that's for sure.

@@thewrongstuff1 Well I have no idea, because when my neighbor on behind me got a wellness check. They actually sent an ambulance to the house to check on him. So I was not buying the wellness check excuse. Especially with three cops, who parked in front of the neighbor's house to the east of me. Which one of these cops had already been noted as someone willing to plant evidence. In order to justify his lackluster behavior while making contact with a person who was filming in and around the local post office. (This cop got promoted as well to sergeant in charge of the patrol division) (So in government at least you can fail falling up, and people seem to be fine with it.) Needless to say, if there is a good example for the criminals running the government in a city or county. It is Claremore, Oklahoma in Rogers County. Because if you can fail falling up, it is here in my local. Since we have officer John Singer, who not only lied about why he was fired from his job, before getting on the CPD. (Due to the fact he was caught stealing) Lied on the actual reason he got into a wreck. (By stating he had hit a deer, and covering it up by applying deer hair to the front of his patrol vehicle). Lied on a sworn affidavit, and in court. Which is all in court documents that are online to see. Oh by the way officer Singer not only has kept his job. But has been promoted to being in charge of the detective division of the CPD. He is also cross deputized as a federal marshal as well. Plus we have officer Sherman, who on his off time called a female up, and got her to come over to his house. Then got her to let him see her cell phone, then stated he was keeping the phone for evidence. Even though she was not expected of a crime, which there was no warrant or even probable cause to take or keep the phone. Then when her attorney went to retrieve the phone, the cops at CPD would not return the phone. So that was heading to a lawsuit, and I have no idea where that case was at. Which brought to light that the practice of stealing cellphones from people happens fairly regularly and is a unwritten policy within the Claremore Police Department.

Liz, I'm sorry to hear you experienced that event. Officers can get over zealous. It is important to try to stay calm and call the police station and ask to speak to a supervisor. In some instances, you may be entitled to seek compensation from law enforcement for improper conduct.

Thank you for your question. We have non-attorney team members that are experts in video editing and RU-vid! Our legal team, however, is constantly studying the law, attending and hosting legal training, and seeking to fight for client’s rights.

That’s one instance. So because of that one instance where instead of doing your due diligence you went with a shitty lawyer does that mean all lawyers suck? Or even the majority? I doubt it. You taking that view point of they all suck will not likely lead to anything good for you or anyone else, it rarely does for someone who’s perception is willfully skewed.

@@colbyd.5044 I sourced 4 lawyers and was told these were one of the top 3 in London. I did due diligence, a lot of it , the lead lady was incredible and had she been able to complete my case I truly believe all would have been fine, it was when the two d.......d partners took over it went downhill and I moved firms after wasting a lot of money. Having dealt with lawyers several times over the years the instance of great was 1 out of 10. That is the experience of an intelligent consumer. If you believe anything different you have your head in the sand!

@@GetReferralsEveryTime so nobody could have an opinion contrary to yours based on their own experience without having their head in the sand? What makes yours so set in stone? 4 out of 100’s still isn’t enough to generalize the whole. Well not rationally at least

@@colbyd.5044 the fact you’re so uptight about this means it’s obviously hit a nerve and proves my point. Any one who defends something so vigorously clearly feels the other person has a point and is more than likely right. The more aggressively you keep defending this proves my point.

I hired a divorce lawyer and I would call him to ask questions and he never returned my calls and never talked to me until we meant in front of the judge and he started asking me the same questions I wanted to ask him so I would be prepared and then he had the balls to scold me for not having the answers. Then I later found out that he was talking to my wife and giving her advice. So who is worse police and judges or lawyers? It’s a toss up. But lawyers take your money and say they will help you but many times they are only helping themselves so that could make them the worst of two evils.

excellent question and it could apply to me too! I hope you get a reply.

@@Bryan-vz8ti well I have a loose theory that I could just have a post sign of a "No Guns" policy...along with no solicitations etc?

You can trespass police. Tell them to leave the premises.

Thank you for your comment. If you have questions about your case you can reach out to our Intake Team to get a Free Case Planning Session, where we can discuss the facts of your specific case. You can call us at 405-725-2234 or contact us via email at admin@jpcannonlawfirm.com.

MT you're right, officers can and sometimes do manipulate the situation. We are fierce advocates for clients that have had their civil rights violated and have represented clients in civil actions against law enforcement.

"Resisting arrest".

@@normgraham8630 sarcasm

Richard, great question. Many times are words can be twisted and if the police come to your door, it is typically not for your welfare, rather it is for a criminal investigation.

Your lucky they did not attack you throw you on floor and cuff you THEY DO NOT CARE FOR CIVILIANS AT ALL .

🤔 in what county and decade do you live, Jim?

Sebastiaan, those are good points! Any other topics you would like to see videos on?
