[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1800550, member: 1132"] Absent probable cause, no, they can't. The key to all of these questions is to not open the door. If they don't have a warrant, they cannot compel you to open the door or come out. If they have a warrant, they must announce so, unless they have a rare no-knock warrant. If that's the case, you'll be notified by the sound of a Halligan tool forcibly opening your door. If they can't talk to you through a closed door, there's no need for them to talk to you. Once you step foot out your door, they have a LOT more leverage on you. Whether you're on your own front porch or not, you're in public view and it's much easier for them to detain you. If they have probable cause to get a warrant, let them come back with it. If they had probable cause to make you wait outside, they'd have probable cause to enter without a warrant. [/QUOTE]
