Assuming valid warrant(s) were in the process of being executed by

the officers, their SOP(standard operating procedure) probably requires that

they keep an eye on every occupant of the premises at all times while

the warrant(s) are being executed, including those who may be merely

peripheral persons on the sidelines who are not targets of the investigation and who may be evacuating their bladders upstairs.

Under these facts, I see no basis for any sustainable cause of

action against the law enforcement personnel and/or their agency

for their actions as described.
