Police Helpfully Enter Man’s Bedroom At 3:00am To Tell Him His Front Door Was Unlocked
Aren’t there, you know, laws against this sort of thing? Something about being secure in our property without a duly-issued warrant?
A Lakeville man says he feels violated after two police officers woke him up at 3 a.m. to tell him his door was unlocked.
Their surprise visit was part of a public service campaign to remind residents to secure their homes to prevent thefts. Usually, officers just leave notices on doors.
But they went further in Troy Molde’s case on Thursday. Police entered the house where four children under 7 were having a sleepover, and then went upstairs to Molde’s bedroom.
The officers told Molde his garage door was open, the TV was on, the keys to his truck were left in the ignition and the door to his house was ajar.
The cops are lucky they didn’t get shot.
