    Default Re: Police Entered My Rented Storage/Office Space

    I'm sorry you are disappointed, but this is as it is and has been for my entire career. Nothing unlawful or untoward occurred here. If you believe otherwise, you can engage an attorney and see where that gets you.

    The exception was likely more than just an unlocked door. I can't know because I was not there and did not speak to the officer. But, you combine two, three, or more articulable elements,and you have the makings of just cause. Had evidence of criminal wrongdoing been uncovered,perhaps an argument MIGHT be made for suppression. Though, in my experience from actually uncovering such evidence in similar checks is that it would not ... provided the articulation and totality of the circumstances were sufficient. But, none of that occurred here. This is not a criminal matter.

    Regardless of what you might think, what I might think, or what anyone on an internet message board might think, nothing will be accomplished by complaining here. If you want to change the status of the law or local police policy and practice, then you need to start advocating for such changes. In the meantime, law enforcement officers everywhere will (hopefully) continue to do their jobs as it appears this officer did.
