The men said they had an arrest warrant for Baker but when Hills asked to see warrants and identification, none were produced.
“It’s very obvious that I did not give them consent to set one foot in my house,” Hills said.
Various lawyers said an arrest warrant gives law enforcement agents the authority to make an arrest but a search warrant is needed to search a home.
These rules were established in the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens against illegal search and seizures, and Hills believes her Constitutional rights were violated.
“All of the officers involved we’d like to see them reprimanded,” Hills said.
There are a number of exceptions to the rule and according to lawyers, police would need probable cause to enter a home without a search warrant.
It is unclear as to whether there was probable cause because the video starts as the law enforcement agents approach the home.
Another issue is the cooperation between sheriffs and the bail bondsmen.
