That being said, this dude is an a-hole and I hope he gets very little police service in the future.
If he showed up to your door and asked to search your house without a warrant, do you say yes?

Opening a car door to a vehicle and entering the vehicle when you have no warrant or probable cause that a crime is occurring in the vehicle should definitely be frowned upon.
Given that they had several car burglaries in the vicinity, the cops have more than enough reasonable suspicion to check if other nearby vehicles were burglarized.
So if there were a few local home burglaries, would the cops be allowed to just start opening the doors of houses and look around?

I get what the cops were doing, but personally I am not ok with it. I dont want any cops going into my car without my permission.

Idgaf, still.

There's a reason my exterior door swings out, and it's so it can't be kicked in

Cop was just trying to see if he was a victim of a break in, Jesus.
So he was doing the exact same actions as the alleged criminal? Hope that cop never gets assigned to a homicide.

No, the cop investigating the break ins was. And the owner of one the cars the cop looked in wants the cop charged with breaking and entering.

So a cop is out in the freezing arse cold searching for perps or stolen merch and this POS instead of inquiring 1st with the PD wants to just go ahead and sue or prosecute is what America has become. frick that guy!

Let us have that situation occur and then the cop can ask for permission from the owner.

dont care what his intentions were, which i will assume were honorable, but then maybe the cop was the car theif? think about it, its the perfect crime and who would ever suspect?
any way, that is clear cut and dry unlawful entry, unlawful search since he was looking around inside the car, and whether you support the police or not both of those are criminal acts and the very crime he is out there looking to arrest someone else for doing

breaking and entering” isn’t an offense. The closest thing would be burglary or trespassing, but in both cases, you would have to prove criminal intent.

Would people be ok with a cop checking if their house was unlocked, then taking a look around if it was?!

Maybe if there had been multiple burglaries in my neighborhood, and I wasn't home
I don't think the cop had a valid reason to go through this guy's vehicle, but it's also nowhere near as big of a deal as the car owner seems to be making out of it. Once I found out the reasoning, I'd wish he hadn't done that but I would then just go on with my life

So if I go around the neighborhood checking door handles and opening the doors of cars that are unlocked there is nothing wrong with it if I claim I have no 'intent'?
These police officers sure do get creative to cover for their actions.
I live in a cookie-cutter subdivision where there are many houses in the subdivision that are the same as mine, with slight variations such as brick color, front door design, etc.
Well, two doors down there is a house that is the exact same design as mine except for a slightly darker and more varying brick and a slightly different shade of paint on the garage and trim.
My grandparents were visiting from out of town and my grandma went out for a walk one morning. As she was coming back up my street, she accidentally went into the house two doors down and walked all the way into the living room before she realized her mistake.
Should she have been charged with a crime? Or does intent matter?
