- dao- 7y agoIf they say "can we come in?" it likely means they're legally not allowed to come in unless you invite them in. Which means they won't kick down your door either if you just don't answer.
- whenchamenia 7y agoBut they can 'see something suspicious' inside, and then suddenly be duty bound to investigate. Do not open your door for cops, and if you feel you should, step outside swiftly and lock the door behind you. They will always find something if they want to, even it it was not there before they entered.
- king_magic 7y agoThere’s a reaaaaaally thin line between (sincere) “We’re so worried about you, can we come in and chat?” and (menacing, oppressive) “We’re so worried about you, can we come in and chat?”. And there’s a really thin line between having the choice to answer your door, and being compelled to for no legitimate reason.
- liability 7y agoLess menacing than either would be "can you come out to chat", or better yet, "come to the door to chat". I'd let concerned EMTs into my house, but I'd rather keep concerned cops out.
- Griffinsauce 7y agoNope, I'm not obliged to.
- StanislavPetrov 7y agoSorry that's wrong. If someone knocks on my door unexpectedly I don't even bother to look outside to see who it is - I'm not answering.
