I have a situation. My family and I had a big get together at my house. It lasted all day long, towards the end of the day someone called the police for an unknown reason. There was no loud music or anything. We were sitting in my garage. I would like to know the law on how far the police officers could have come. The came in my garage asking everyone for ID's etc... For some unknown reason the officer felt he needed to call for backup. At anytime did he ever say what the problem was (loud music, loudness etc..) My boyfriend was in our back yard running towards our house to come in. Officers came from the back and the front of my house. They tackled him to the ground and arrested him and took him to jail for resisting law enforcement. Is there any law against the officers running all in my backyard? And, never at anytime did they say that he was under arrest for anything. I am the homeowner, I was inside my house. They immediately entered my garage, Never at anytime did an officer come to my front door asking if there was a problem. They finally at the very end of the ordeal asked who the homeowner was that is when I became involved. I have private property signs hanging. Are officers allowed to enter your fences and backyards the way they did that night? Really for no apparent reason?
