DC Cops To Ask For Consent To Search Homes

Guns in the District

You have a constitutional right to privacy, but it evaporates into thin air with three simple words: "Come on in."

That's exactly what DC cops hope to hear as they go on a door to door hunt for illegal weapons.

For a city that has a gun ban, cops took almost 3,000 off the street last year alone. Their solution? Get them before they hit the streets. It’s a touchy concept that's not so cut and dry.

In DC's most crime-ridden neighborhoods weathered notes and stuffed animals memorialize those killed on these streets.

The American Civil Liberties Union went door to door in a Ward 8 neighborhood. They're warning people not to voluntarily let police search their home for guns under a new plan police launched this week.


possibly not a bad idea?

I wonder how many volunteers they'll get. This is just stupid.
