If a police officer comes to my house can I close the door if I don’t want to talk to them?
If they actually have a warrant for a search, you will have to let them in.

If they just want to talk, you can say no and close the door.

However, be very careful closing that door. If you close the door on any part of the officer or the officer puts his hand up and you hit it with the door, you can be accused of assaulting a police officer.

Also, the police cannot just hang around in your yard waiting for a warrant. That is not legal either. They can wait on the public street or the public sidewalk.

Know that you don’t have to open the door at all. If they have a warrant, they may be able to simply break into your house, then you will have to cooperate.

You have the right to not talk to the police and to not answer questions. You do have to tell the officer verbally that you will not be answering any question. And, you do have to identify yourself, which requires speaking. You are also required to respond to the officer’s question about anything in your house that can injure them if they are searching your house - such as your three pitbulls in the back room.

They can lie to you about having a warrant. Ask to see the warrant.
