i wonder the legal standing on that, without any probable cause you can tell them to get stuffed..did the landlord give them permission to search? did they have a warrant?
i used to respect cops and realize they have a tough job to do but i have, many years ago been on the receiving end of a total embellishment of the actual facts, or in other words total lies, so although i don't give them any attitude, they have guns here, i certainly do not trust them anymore. most cops were either bullied as a kid and now it's payback time, or they were the bullies and still are...
hard to respect a service that puts more emphasis on catching super criminals, "motorists" going 5 over rather or not coming to a full stop, than actually being a presence to stop real crime...get burgled and all you get is a file number, an actual cop coming to your door would cost them a few missed traffic tickets...but, go a bit fast and don't stop you'll have half the force chasing you
