What Happens When the Police Knock on Your Door

There is nothing quite as gut-wrenching as opening your front door and finding the police standing on the other side. They never bring good news. Experiencing a moment of panic and indecision when they ask to be let in is perfectly natural. Questions that will likely run through your mind at this point include:

• Do they need a search warrant?
• Should you call a lawyer?
• Do you have to let them in?
• Should you shut the door without saying a word?
