1. This is Mass Insanity. Door-to-door searches? Really? What happened to the Constitution?

6. If the homeowners/renters consent to the searches

there is no violation.

7. What happens to people who don't consent, and demand that the officers get a search warrant?

That's the big question.

10. I imagine

I imagine the first assumption would be that there is a jackass with a bomb on the other side of the door with them.

Why would anyone decline this search, they are not attempting to gain evidence to accuse anyone of a crime. However, if you do have a child kept in a cage ... this might not work out so well for you.

9. Knock, Knock! Who's There?

"It's the police Ma'am. We're checking everyone's home to make sure everything's OK and that the fugitive is not hiding there. You can see my I.D. through your peephole. May we come in?

"Sure."

minutes later...

"OK, Ma'am. Your home is clear. Until we catch this person, we're recommending you keep your doors and windows locked."

"I'll do that. You boys be careful."

Now, which part of the Constitution was it that was bothering you?

2. Have We Heard From Any Of The People That Had Their Homes Entered In This Door To Door Search?.....

Just wondering what happens when these enforcement officers enter the home. Do they do a room to room search? Do they try and calm the people down and talk to them? Has anyone who has had their house entered been interviewed by the press or have they used social media to tell what happened in the search?

I'm just curious.

5. The police are asking permission to look...

in the houses. Haven't heard any reports indicating anyone has denied the officers access.

8. But Has Anyone That Had Their House Visited - Commented On The Visit/Search?......nt

[DonViejo]

11. The media hasn't spoken with anyone that was visited...

at least, not that I've seen so far.

3. Why is there a controlled blast again?

4. my guess would be...

that it had to do with the man with the device. they have to do the controlled demo once it was off him.
