		jstrate on April 20, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Richard Stallman response to Boston Police efforts I didn't really hear about any responses to law enforcement entering homes. If they were sweeping the area did anyone refuse entry? Also really looking forward to the knee-jerk anti 2nd ammendment lobby using another tragedy as a prop.

I heard/read that for homes with inhabitants present, the inhabitants were asked if they would like their homes searched.

I'm not sure if they searched empty homes, but if they did, then they probably believed it to be exigent circumstances.
