Disappointed. This is the second time you've suggested I need a lock to secure the privacy of my person, places, and things..................from the Police no less, the very same Officers that are sworn " to respect the Constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice."
If an open door is an accepted exigency for warrant less entry......than failing to answer a locked door would also be an exigent circumstance justifying knocking the door down. It's a slippery slope my friend. And the door lock does me no good when it is those who took the "Protect and Serve" Oath, who struggle with the difference between protection and intrusion.
Regardless of whether the reason for her entry was exigencies to the warrant requirement, or community care taking and concern for my well being(you offered both); The fact that she didn't pause long enough at the door for me to meet her inquiry at the door means she had zero "respect" for the Constitutional Rights of any rightful occupants who may be inside. Most Case Law on entry without warrant stresses that the Rights of the occupants be very carefully weighed against the societal benefits that may be gained.
If you can't wait 3-5 seconds for me to answer my door in person at my door; I have a better understanding why Police and community relationships seem to be struggling more so these days.
