“When Boulder, Colorado resident Chrissy Smiley returned to her condo after walking her dog, she was stunned to find a card from a police officer on her dining room table. When she called the department she was informed that the fact she had left a sliding door unlocked and partially open constituted ‘probable cause’ to conduct a welfare check. The Boulder Police Department insists that entering what they call ‘unsecured residences’ is ‘standard operating procedure’ and that it will continue. In Stillwater, Minnesota Sonya Sylos was startled to find a sheriff’s deputy and two police officers who had entered her home at 2:00 a.m. without a warrant or permission.”
