Can German Police Enter Your Home? [Solved]
Gotcha! Unless the cops have reason to believe you’re up to no good or they’ve got a hunch that someone else is hiding out in your house, they can’t just go snooping around. That’s the law.
Knock and Announce: German police must knock on the door of a residence and announce their presence before entering.
Search Warrant: German police must have a valid search warrant issued by a judge in order to enter a home without permission.
Exigent Circumstances: In certain emergency situations, such as when there is an imminent threat of danger or destruction of evidence, German police may enter without a warrant or permission from the homeowner.
Consent: If the homeowner gives consent for the police to enter, they may do so without a warrant or exigent circumstances present.
Use of Force: German police are allowed to use reasonable force if necessary in order to gain entry into a home if all other methods fail or are not applicable in the situation at hand.
German police recently entered a home in search of evidence. They were quick to act, and didn’t waste any time getting inside. It was all over in a flash - they were in and out before you could say “Jack Robinson”. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident.
