My question involves police conduct in the State of: Maryland
I awoke this morning at 7:30 to knocking at the door. My wife went out to open it, and a Sheriff officers and several police came in through the door, guns drawn. I wasn't in the room, but they asked her where is "he", and proceeded to spread out in my apartment coming into my bedroom with lights and guns drawn, and asked me to get up and come into the living room. Except for the guns and invasion part, it was pretty coordial I guess.
So it turns out they were looking for someone who hadn't lived here for at least the 3 years I have lived here. A simple call to the rental office would have shown the person they were looking for was not at my address and I can tell you I have no ties to that person. I had not seen his face until they showed me a crude mug shot print out in my living room.
They guy said to call the District Court house to get my address cleared, and I am loath to refuse legal advice from a man with a gun, but they are not open at the moment and I don't really have anyone who could possibly help to complain to at the moment. Is there anything I should do? What can I do to make sure it doesn't happen again, and what should I do if it does?
Thanks for reading. Hope your morning is less eventful than mine has been.
