Setting: Present day, NYC
Context: Two criminals have holed up in a ritzy New York City hotel room. NYPD tracks them down and gets a warrant to search the hotel room.
Question: What exactly is the procedure for police upon entering a potentially hostile environment like a hotel room? What would they say before entering the room? Would they even give a warning? How many cops would go inside?
Research/search terms: “police entering house”, “NYPD procedure”, “police searching hotels”; I’ve searched both online and looked in the HowDunit books on police procedure, but I didn’t find any answers.
Thanks in advance!!!
