LAKEVILLE, Minnesota (AP) -- A Lakeville man says he feels violated after two police officers woke him up at 3 a.m. to tell him his door was unlocked. Their surprise visit was part of a public service campaign to remind residents to secure their homes to prevent thefts. Usually, officers just leave notices on doors. But they went further in Troy Molde's case on Thursday. Police entered the house where four children under 7 were having a sleepover, and then went upstairs to Molde's bedroom. The officers told Molde his garage door was open, the TV was on, the keys to his truck were left in the ignition and the door to his house was ajar. A police spokesman says the intrusion was justified because the officers' initial door knocks went unanswered, and they wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. He says the kids inside -- Molde's two sons and two nephews -- were afraid to wake their dad, so the officers went upstairs |

Nobody called the coppers. I'd say it was unlawful entry. They already abuse their power enough. Now they think they can go in your house on a 'hunch'.

A police spokesman says the intrusion was justified because the officers' initial door knocks went unanswered, and they wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. He says the kids inside -- Molde's two sons and two nephews -- were afraid to wake their dad, so the officers went upstairs Where was the mother? I think if the door was ajar - open - I do not think it can be considered any type of illegal entry, if everything were locked up, that is a different story. Considering the keys in the truck, garage door open and 4 kids under the age of 7 were left unattended, the man should get down on his knees and thank the police for waking him. What if someone entered the freely open house, kidnapped the kids and took the truck? Then what would Molde be screaming about? Quite frankly, Molde should be investigated for leaving children under the age of 7 unsupervised. That in of itself is a dangerous situation. What if one got hurt, started playing with matches, turned on the stove???? And it is 3 a.m.???? Molde should thank God all the police did was inform him of the situation, obviously Molde had NO IDEA - he was asleep.

You HAVE to admit the dangerous situation the children were in. AND, what was wrong with the police saying "Uh, pardon us sir, your garage door is open, keys are in your truck, your door is adjar, it is 3 a.m. and there are 4 children under the age of 7 being left unattended, please sir, take care of this situation." The police were not looking for anything, they were merely trying to maintain a safe environment.
Now, hush up or you will be stuffed in Tinkerbell's glass jar.

i do not have to admit anything
why were they in any danger because no body was looking over their shoulder (i think not) and how do you know who left the door open (maybe one of the kids opened it) [or is it supposed to be closed and locked so they cant open it (yeah that would not be dangerous would it) and i bet NO ONE has ever had their children under a direct watchful eye 24 7 --- and how do any parent know their kid does not run off and do something when they are sleeping and no one should be so rude as to tell someone to shut up because that is just juvenile and immature (to think they have the power to control another adult they do not even know unbelievable simply unbelievable |

 Well I never thought this day would come but I have to agree with you Lindyy. The cops did nothing wrong here. If the police deemed it necessary to put together a team to go through at the early AM hours to make sure things were secured then obviously that area has had some problems in the past with crime. So they tried to awaken the homeowners by knocking on the door. When no one answered they didn't know if they were just heavy sleepers or if someone was inside robbing and murdering the family. So they entered the house. (Not looking for anything of a crime or anything. Just to make sure the homeowners were okay)
Then when they find a bunch of children having a sleepover and in this type of danergous situation it escalates a little bit because of the carelessness of the homeowner. So they go and wake him up to inform him of the potential dangers that he put himself and his family in. I mean if it was some type of robber the robber could have gone inside. Murdered all of the children of the sleepover. Killed the father, loaded up his truck with stuff from the house and high tailed it out of there. And by the way to all those saying they had no legal right. If police officers feel that something isn't right with a situation or they are checking on the safety of someone they are allowed to enter a residence uninvited or without a warrant. Even if it means breaking into the house. (Which they didn't even have to this time since the door was open.) |

the door bn open does not constitute a suspicious circumstance
there is no law saying you must secure your home at anytime (although you should not doing so does not make it suspicious) the fact that no one answered the door raises suspicions a tad but not enough to constitute illegal entry does this mean if yer in the back yard and you leave your door open and you do not answer when the ss knocks on the door that they can go into your house because the door is open and you did not answer the door (granted if it was a criminal it would be a very bad situation but that is not the situation per say) granted the ss was operating on good faith and that is to their credit (but when they entered they became the criminal (fortunatly thus far the home resider has not pressed charges obviously) [but may in the future seeing as he feels "violated"] kind of interested how this plays out in the REAL world |
