This is a non-story. If you don't have gang relations, no criminal record, no violence, no gun ownership ... there's no reason for the cops to bang down the door.
That said, I think cops are too aggressive in general about this.
That also said - the cops do have a policy of 'bang down the door' because I think it's actually safer for the cops (I loathe to find that data sorry).
So, like everything, it's complicated.
Definitely policing, like everything else has to be 1) 'smart' i.e. materially proportional, use force where required and 2) we have to accept at least some wiggle room. No matter what, the cops will be wrong some time.
So, like everything, we have to be smart about it.
- spacemanmatt 5y ago> we have to be smart about it. We could start by prohibiting IQ caps enforced by police departments. No, really, they went to court to ensure they could continue to refuse candidates who exceed their own intelligence or any other arbitrary intelligence limit they want to enforce. https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836 https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/st...
