Thats really cute that you two are acting like law enforcement wont happily trample on the 4th amendment any time the courts allow them to.
So your question is how would most LEOs act if they were directed to conduct an unlawful search and seizure door to door? Really?🙄

They already do that outside of homes.
Though made up of some 30,000 members, just 473 individuals from 39 states elected to lend their name to the letter. There are no active police chiefs who signed the letter from such conservative bulwark states as Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico or Nevada. In comparison, states with strict gun laws had numerous chiefs support the declaration. For instance, at least 85 signers were from Massachusetts departments and 55 from New York.
Not sure this is a good example.
Nearly a third of the signatories were from NY and MA, shocking. But overall, only 1.5% of their numbers signed it. I'm not sure how they can claim to push that agenda when 98% of their numbers didn't even support it enough to put their name on it.
Example of police hating firearms. My bad on assuming that was your intent.
However, it is refreshing to know 98% didn't care enough or didn't support it to sign it.
I think its common sense. Honestly, it shows that the average cop is up against an inflated bureaucracy, whos only concern is how to garner more votes from a public that has grown more apathetic than ever.
There are those who buck the system and to those few, I say, huzzah!I wouldn't necessarily go that far. 98% didn't support it or, again, didn't care enough to sign it. That's an overwhelming majority. And a good portion of those that did sign were listed as (Retired) or not even the head chief.
Just perusing the letter, I saw a lot of NY, CT, MA and CA signatories. Which is kind of to be expected given the politics of the States themselves and the politicians they elect there that in turn appoint the police chiefs.
Just as a reminder though, there are some that buck the system. Remember the Colorado Sheriffs that flatly said they weren't going to support or enforce the idiotic measures put in place a few years ago? 54 of the 64 Sheriffs in Colorado brought a suit against the Governor (though later thrown out) and represent a lot of area in that State. So they lost the suit. It's just as easy to tell individual deputies "don't go looking for it" even in the aftermath of that lawsuit.
In reference to Ras asking about the gun confiscation thing, I doubt there as many cops out there that are as anti-gun as he might like to believe. Chiefs and whatnot maybe (at least 1.5% lol) but the rank and file probably just don't care that much about it or side on the 2A for the most part. I'm not going to slap a percentage on that, but I'd think there would be widespread revolts if a Chief or Sheriff ever ordered them door to door on confiscation. There are those overzealous lots that get all giddy on confiscating that "assault rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammo!" that gets widely reported. But I don't think they are the majority.

Don't wear a mask... WTF?
