1st OP I can't believe that you didn't read the house arrest papers before letting this guy into your house. That was the very least you could have done to find out what kind of license you are letting the cops have when it comes to having access to your home.
Thats the thing. I have read them several times, and read any state code that is referenced in them. Was even going to post them but its so riddled with proprietary information, its almost a custom form and the cops might be able to use whats not redacted to track down who it is. But the gist is nothing in it or the laws referenced in it gives the police the right to enter the house. It does say if he is out of the house for any of the reasons listed in the form that he is subject to probable cause for being stopped and checked out. And must have the papers on him at all times when out of the house.
Also we (the owners of the house) didn't sign anything, let alone sign away any rights. That and the behavior & body language of the one cop that visited make me pretty sure (but not positive) that the cops have no more right to enter my house than my neighbors house.
I'll return and revive this thread when something new happens. This is the kind of thread I want to read if I wasn't involved, just to get an idea of what happens - for real
My wife and I, and the judge and his clerk were in the courtroom during his televised arraignment. I got the feeling from the clerks that it doesn't ever happen that visitors come and view the hearing, but they let us in to view it. I heard the whole thing, and even in that the judge never said anything about giving up my rights. Actually, he didn't say jack shit to us, and only glanced our way for a split second. Almost like he was trying not to look over at us. And I know the judge personally from years ago when he was the escrow lawyer at my house closing. Yeah, its a small town. He was also the prosecutor later when I beat a speeding ticket, causing the city to pay the court costs. Thats a whole nother story. Called me by name then so I know he knows my name.
