I didn't see anything in there that makes mention of legislation allowing Law Enforcement to enter your home without a warrant or exigent circumstances.
Probably because it didn't have anything to do with that; it was about disorderly conduct.

Really? Care to back that up with something? Anything? Maybe in some asian country you hail from but this happend in the U.S. That is not true in any sense of the words you used.
I will tell you what I have to keep telling you dittoheads -
Back up what you are saying with some proof. Where is that law? You can look up any law you want on this thing called the internet. Find me that one or sit down and be quiet for a bit.
This is the Boston Criminal Lawyer Blog.

It talks about "disorderly conduct". And if you took a minute and did a search, you'd come up with many more hits on MA law and disorderly conduct.

Understood, but you cannot lawfully be arrested in your own home for insulting a police officer, which is what many have erroneously claimed.
You're yanking me! You mean you can call a cop a pig, or say that you smell bacon, but as long as you're in your own home, you can get away with it?
What about my toolshed? Is that considered my home? (just trying to inject some humor).
,,,sorry I was wronge stating that,,,,I do apologize....
are insulting and dissorderly conduct both the same???
Perhaps the professor really did live there, but so did his wife. And perhaps the wifey had a restraining order against the prof. Was the wife upstairs in a bedroom bound and gagged?

Sorry for the caps, but there is no such thing as 'disorderly conduct' when you're in your own house, unless you are attempting to infringe on another person's rights.
To insinuate otherwise is simply ridiculous. The cops in this situation were wrong. They acted stupidly.

OMG...another witness. You should have let on earlier that you were present and witnessed every word and action.
The problem with this whole thing is that there is a group of people on this thread and spread out over this country committing the same sin they are bashing Obama for. People refer to Gates as a racist but no one should dare question the police. Get real. I hate to break this bad news to everyone here but cops can be just as racist and corrupt as the next guy...maybe even more.
No one on this thread was there so stop spouting absolutes as if you were.
