What is the name of your state? PA
Ok here is the run down of what happened. A lady (drug user) stole some money from my father and ran into a house. My father allegedly went to the person house the lady went into and was beating on the door asking for his money. No one come out. The lady proclaims he then went to a vehicle located outside the house and said if you are not out here in 30 seconds I am going to break the windshield. He then allegedly broke the windshield and returned to his girlfriends house. My father and his girlfriend when in his girlfriends home when they heard a knock at the door and the police identified themselves. His girlfriend asked why they where there. They said we are here to arrest and said my fathers name. My dad said don't let them in unless they have a warrant. They said they where also going to search the house. My dad's girlfriend asked them if they had a warrant to slide it under the door or make it visiable so she could read it. They did not do so and kicked the door in and ran into the bathroom where my father was and assualted him. My fathers girlfriend said there was about 4 officers and they got my father on the ground who is 49 years old and beat him with batons and kicked him repeatedly after he said he was cooperating and was not trying to resist. She shooted please stop you going to kill him and a police officer smacked her and threw her on the couch. They then proceeded to drag my father out of the house while still beating him. They then ripped her house apart stating they where looking for a gun that they never found. My father does not own a firearm. My question is, is this legal? Did they need a arrest warrant and a search warrant to enter the home and arrest my father and search the house for a firearm?
Thanks,
Rocky
