When the police knock on your door DO NOT open the door. Speak through the door. If they have a warrant, they can already enter. If they don’t have a warrant, they may use you stepping outside to detain you anyways, and it also gives them an opportunity to see into your house.
This is genuinely absurd. But the mental image of a uniformed cop, giddily pressing your doorbell and running away like Ron Swanson to jump and hide in a bush is too fuckin good. And then the image of them jumping back out to say “STOP RIGHT THERE!” Is also good. Goddamn, that’s funny. Fucked up and dystopian. But funny to imagine.

I had a cop ding dong ditch and hide in my bushes, to then run up to me yelling stop once I stepped out of my house to ask me questions.
I still feel gross. I wouldn’t have answered the door, but they tricked me.
