What is the difference between a cop entering illegally an anyone else?

Ostensibly, it’s argued it’s because cops have a duty to enforce arrest and search warrants and don’t need to be troubled with shots fired while entering the house and the tenant claiming they never heard the cop(s) give proper notice.

The problem is, cops are liable to go through the motions of giving proper notice and still entering illegally…because they got the address wrong. It’s happened before.

The benefit of the doubt should go to the tenant/homeowner’s right against unlawful search and seizure and the cops are just going to have to deal with it.
