It does
not say that the cops are stacked up outside the house with fully automatic assault rifles at the ready, and then busting in or intimidating the homeowner/resident into "letting" them do the search. And then again it does not say that's not what is going on.
When the places for a killer to hide are houses, because the surrounding area is open countryside, then you ought to expect killers to try and hide in houses.
So long as the cops merely have their fweelings hurted when Harry Homeowner says he will check out all the hidey places and let them know if there is a child killer anywhere, then I'm not upset at the cops
wanting to search likely hiding places. If they are insistent they can go get a warrant based on a sworn statement that explains why they think the child killer is hiding in my house as opposed to any other house anywhere else.
Sworn statement/warrant not up to snuff? See y'all in court. Have a nice day.

stay safe.
