What is the name of your state? Oregon
I am a 19 year old college student. In october i had a party and was charged with hosting a party and an MIP. I obtained the police report, and here are some exerpts (summarized) from the report from the police:
Police cause: I could hear louse noise (People talking and yelling coming approx 150 feet away on blank street)
I Approached two males both appeared under 21
I asked <insert name> how much he consumed he said "i only had one beer." I asked the other kid, he said i dont know two beers..
So basically the cops had reason to believe that there was a party at my house and people were underage drinking. None of the kids they asked before they came to my house said they were drinking at my house. And none of the kids were in the actual house they were on the lawn.
Anyways, the police knocked on my door and asked me if i lived there. I said no. I told them i would go find someone who did live there and they refused to let me shut the door while i went to go get someone.
Heres some exerpts(summarized) from the report in the police's point of view. (Blank is me who lives in the house)
I asked blank (me) to come outside and he said no. I told him if he did not come outside i was going to come inside the residence. Blank told me "You cant come in here." I told blank he did not have the authority over the property since he did not live there. Blank told me "Well i do live here and you cant come inside until u get a warrant." I told blank he was under arrest for hosting a party for minors and told him to step outside of the residence. Blank began to step away from the doorwar. I stepped through the doorway and gained control over Blanks left arm. I placed my left hand on blanks arm and handcuffed him, and escorted him out of the house.
I guess my question is, can the police do this? Do they have the right to step into my house and grab and handcuff me without getting a warrant?
