What are texas's police procedures when a 911 call for a wellness check(threat of suicide) suspect in Arlington, Texas, report made via telephone from relative in Houston, Texas? Can officer's enter the home? If suspect leaves home can police taze suspect? Meth found in yard that suspect walked past, pursing officer said he saw suspect throw something.
Answer
Generally police cannot enter a home without a search warrant. However, there are exceptions to the warrant requirement. The facts in the wellness check call as well as facts obtained in the execution of that check may meet an exception to the warrant requirement.
Don't know about police procedure in Arlington. The Meth found in the yard might be inadmissible if the police were not in a lawful position to view it. You need a criminal defense lawyer to help fill in the blanks.
