The police are at my door. What do I do?

Answer the door, step outside and shut the door. Do not allow the police into your home without a warrant. If they have a warrant, ask to see it and then read it. They will not wait for you to read it to enter and search your home, but it is still a good idea for you to keep a copy. Watch what you can to see if they are following the rules in the warrant. Do not allow them inside to talk even if the weather is bad. Do not agree to searches. Do not answer any questions about anything. Tell them that you want to contact your lawyer immediately and call me. Even if I don't answer you will know what to do. Do not answer any questions. Do not agree to any searches. Be polite, but be firm.
