Legal Infringement by Police: What to Do?

Questioner

Can the police just break into your home without you being home because your neighbors have reported that they have not seen you for a while and suspect that you have died?

Lawyer

In specific cases, the police may enter your home if they suspect a dangerous situation, someone in distress and in case of suspected death, etc. It is true that an assistant public prosecutor must give permission for this or be present in person. In your case, there may have been a death if you have not been seen for a long time. You may be glad to have such attentive neighbors who are also concerned about you.
