Did anyone refuse their house being search? Did the cops make a forceful entry if they did? If all of this was voluntary then the people chose to give up their rights. But like I said if they couldn't and they still did then I would have a problem. That's the thing with cops as soon as you give them permission to come into your house they can and will do as they please.edit on 22-4-2013 by BriGuyTM90 because: (no reason given)edit on 22-4-2013 by BriGuyTM90 because: (no reason given)
I didn't hear those residents consent to anything on this video, but I DID see jackboots ordering people out of THEIR homes with their hands up, and yelling at these people as if THEY look just like the 19 year old kid that their looking for. Yeah, looks legit. NOT.

I see nothing illegal there.
Apparently the people consented to a search, which is their right.
Consent:
Voluntarily acquiescing or complying with a request, by someone of sufficient mental capacity; a decision made in the absence of coercion or duress. Whether or not a party has given voluntary consent is determined by the totality of the circumstances.ht. I didn't see anyone breaking down any doors.

I wonder what the dog was getting a hit on. Police dogs don't yap for no reason. Seemed to be on the last person out of the house. Could be sniffing drugs, which if the case would beg another question...Why have drug sniffing dogs (if that's what it is) I understand bomb sniffing being there, but I get the feeling that was a drug dog.

You've got at least 7 officers on your front porch, all of whom are pointing mighty big guns at you, yelling at you to "get out of your house!! NOW!! get your hands in the air!!!" and screaming even louder when, if one of them is confused by why they are being treated like a common criminal for happening to live in a house in an area where a suspect was at large, you expect them to say no?
I tell you one thing though. I had imagined it to be more along the lines of police officers surrounding the house, knocking sedately on the door and asking me a series of questions to ascertain whether we were all in fact okay, if anyone was being held against their will or threatened, to make a signal if there is a problem, etc etc. I certainly didn't expect to see Bostonians being shouted at like they were serious and dangerous criminals and ordered to leave the house and move down the street by a bunch of heavily armed police officers.
I'm sorry. Consent is a tricky thing. There is implied consent, which is what we see here because, through the fact that they walked out of their home with their arms up in the air at the order of policemen and there is express consent (ie saying yeah, sure come on in!).
