I've never had it happen. I was wondering what to do. Even if they say it's the sheriff, I'm not believing it. Call 911 like Blank said, I think.A Grower Looking For A Warm Place To Spend The Night Eel?
When seconds matter, the cops are minutes away.Call 911
That's true, but they should be able to verify if it's cops at the door.When seconds matter, the cops are minutes away.
Or you could use the peep hole to see if its cops on the other side of the door?That's true, but they should be able to verify if it's cops at the door.
Peep hole? Do you live in a hotel?Or you could use the peep hole to see if its cops on the other side of the door?
Motel.....I'm not THAT classy.Peep hole? Do you live in a hotel?
What do they look like and how do you tell a real one from a fake?Or you could use the peep hole to see if its cops on the other side of the door?
Ask em to show you a taser, pepper spray, expandable baton, 12 gauge from the front dash and badge. If they have all of those, they're probably cops.What do they look like and how do you tell a real one from a fake?
I went with something like this on all our (metal) exterior doors.Badges are easy to get for someone faking being a cop. Instead ask to see their I.D. card issued by the department they are working for.
Knock at my door at 3 A.M. and you can bet your life there will be a gun in my hand when I yell. "who is it" and "what do you want". before I open the door.
If I do not like your answer, I will yell back to "go away" I am not opening the door. At the first door kick, lead will be flying.
Another security option to prevent some one from gaining entry on the first door kick. Remove those short wood screws that hold the door lock plates in place and replace the short screw with 2-1/2 or 3 inch screws that go past the door moulding into the door frame studs. Takes a couple kicks to bust the door open and gives you more time to start shooting.
Even liberal CA. has a "castle doctrine" that says you do not have to attempt to flee in your own home prior to using deadly force. You have the right to "stand your own ground"
Several days after the new "castle doctrine" law took effect, I investigated a home invasion incident where the home owner shot at the suspect in the hallway after the suspect kicked open his front door. The suspect did not have a weapon, but it was dark and the home owner could not see if he was armed, but had reasonable cause to believe his life and his family lives were in danger that justified the shooting. The home owner missed hitting the suspect and the suspect ran out of the house like his A$$ was on fire.

Of course. I’ve experienced everything, have you noticed.I've never had it happen. I was wondering what to do. Even if they say it's the sheriff, I'm not believing it. Call 911 like Blank said, I think.
you must be cool headed, i would sue his behind.The closest I’ve come to getting shot at my home was by the cops. They had the wrong address. Still didn’t stop em from rolling me around in the gravel in zip ties.
I’m never opening the door again for a cop I don’t recognize. And if you want to sneek up on me, plan on around 10 pm. I’m awake at 3.
Maybe if I was cooler headed I wouldn’t have got rolled aroundyou must be cool headed, i would sue his behind.

That's so sad. I'm sure you helped, grizzly.I had a knock in the middle of the night a few months ago but by the time I figured out what was going on and looked at the camera, my porch was empty. I played back the video and it was a young boy, maybe 12 years old, that I didn't recognize and with no shoes on his feet.
I figured something was wrong so I threw on sweat pants and shoes and ran out front. I could see the kid walking down the street about a half block away so I ran and caught up to him. I asked him what was wrong and if he needed help and he said he was looking for somebody to pray with him. You could see he had a lot of emotion in his eyes and was fighting back tears.
When he was done praying, I asked what I could do to help him but he wouldn't give me an answer and walked away.
I have no idea who he was or what was going on. I've wondered since then what he must've been going through to knock on a stranger's door in the middle of the night looking for someone to pray with. I hope he's okay.
Many won't understand ?I understand. I dated one for awhile.
