my house was raided for pot and pot cultavtion while sitting up stairs my wife and sons girlfriend had to pee one officer watched both of them with the bathroom door opened while kept starring at them is that still illeagal thanks and what course of action should be taken
1 Answer from Attorneys
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.
