What is the name of your state? Georgia
My brother has felony warrants for his arrest. He had stopped by my house this morning but I wouldn’t let him stay because I knew the police were looking for him so he went across the street to call someone to come and get him. About five hours later the police showed up looking for him. When I was walking to the front of the house (where the officer was knocking) I saw an officer at the back door so I went ahead and opened that door. I heard him say into his radio that "I got a lady at the back door". He then asked me to answer the front door but wouldn’t remove his foot so that I could shut the door. As i was arguing with him about closing the door I heard another officer walking around in my house. I told him he did not have permission to be in my house. He said that since my door was unlocked he could come in and do a welfare check then stood there and argued with me about his right to be in my house. They finally called around the deputy that I knew and he got them to back off and I let him look around. ONLY AT THIS POINT did anyone even tell me why they were there (of cause I already knew but you would think that they might tell you when they're forcing their way into your house).
I don’t have anything to hide and if they had been respectful to begin with i would have given them a hard time.
I guess my question is did they break any laws? If they did who can I report it to?
And what justifies a welfare check?
