Can a police officer enter your dwelling with a property maintenance person to gain acess?

Answer 1

If police knock and ask to enter your home, you may refuse to admit them without a warrant signed by a judge with one exception — in some emergency situations (like when a person is screaming for help inside, or when the police are chasing someone) officers are allowed to enter and search your home without a warrant. Also they Can enter if there has been a question about your well being. Meaning someone has called and stated they haven't heard from you in some time and are concerned. Hey using a key is much better than replacing a busted down door.

Answer 2

The maintenance man can only enter your residence in case of an "emergency" that is going to damage the property or the safety of the other tenants, or if you called him. He can not enter your apartment at will without notice or permission let alone bring someone in with him, definitely not a cop. The only way that the maintenance man should have done this would have been if the officer had a warrant and so to keep the door from being kicked in then he would give entrance. However, you can sue the management for this if it has caused you in sort of problems.

Answer 3

Legally...no. If you are renting an apartment and the police gain access without a warrant by way of your super, that is unlawful, and the fruit of the search would be inadmissible in court. In order for a lawful search to occur the police must have one of the following: either probable cause that a law is currently being violated, a bench warrant signed by a judge, or your consent.

Answer 4

This would depend on the reason, lets say some one reported that they have not scene the person in days, then yes he can enter. If he had an arrest warrant he can enter, if he could hear some one calling for help he could enter, he is not going to enter for the hell of it.

Answer 5

Several mitigating circumstances come into play. If there is a 911 call and a history of events at the address, I may check it out. If it is a reported domestic disturbance, I may check it out. If a manager is on duty with the keys, I'd rather unlock your door than damage it. You don't include enough information about the situation to make a conclusion. A blanket statement about entry isn't sufficient.

Answer 6

depending on the reason for access he can enter a dwelling WITHOUT a property maintenance person.

Answer 7

Only with probabal cause, or a search warrant, otherwise it is thrown out in court, This stems back to colonial days when the British would kick in colonist's doors searching for weapons, someone said "Make a note, this type of thing won't go on when we start our own country" !

Answer 8

They would need a warrant except under two conditions. These would be probable cause or to check on your welfare. That is someone has called and said they were worried about you because you haven't been available for an extended period. I believe these are the only exceptions.

Answer 9

in the event that they have actual looking reason to believe there have been underage eating on the valuables, then sure, they are able to flow into the valuables with out consent. extra extremely to the shed, they ought to have some actual looking suspicion that a new child could have ran and hidden there for them to flow in and seek. Say he observed the locked shed and observed teenagers working in each instructions. with out reason, he broke the shed and searched it, then it could have been unlawful. The police, subsequently, could be held susceptible to the broken sources and any info they uncovered is possibly deemed inadmissible. yet that isn't the case right here. So below your undertaking, sure, the police can enter your sources with out consent.

Answer 10

According to my criminal justice classes, any person who is in authority on the property has the right to consent to allow police to enter. Whether it's the gardener, plumber, babysitter, wife, friend, roommate, whatever. If you leave them in authority, they can say yes.
