Regarding house parties, I was curious as to the legal entry to "Quell the disturbance."
For example, you go to the house that is having the party and the doors are locked and nobody answers. My question is how far can we go to gain entry by force? I know if I articulate in my report that I heard screaming etc it would look better, however I'm looking for the tad' a firma. I have been on several calls over the past few years with different officers that have different approaches.. some will go in no matter what and some won't. I don't want to make case law for the wrong reason. Just looking for some feedback.
