A 76-year-old man—no criminal record—staring down the barrels of SWAT and conflicting screams towards his own home. Why? He refused consent to a warrantless search 5 days earlier, when they showed up during a knock and talk investigation. Instead of respecting the knock and talk limitations, they trespassed and peered into the house and garage without a warrant, multiple times. Now, they want to cry "Muh Safety" while his meant nothing.
Under, Graham v. Connor (1989) police force must be 'objectively reasonable'—considering crime severity (non-violent allegations), immediate threat (zero from a harmless senior), and resistance (none). Yet guns drawn over a 'no'? Your 4th Amendment rights mean nothing when they don't get their way. This is the standard meant to protect us—failing badly.
