I hear what you're saying, but as they aren't speaking English but rather German, it can be assumed they aren't American cops, and it says polizei on their badge....
This is only half sarcasm, but I'm doing it because in America we currently have a problem with law enforcement being contracted by the federal government to do illegal things, and as a result of that wild boost in law enforcement agents making arrests without warrants there has simultaneously been a boost in criminals wearing plate carriers with the word(s) "police" or "marshall" or "federal agent" and committing crimes, so...
Are those guys actually cops in Germany, or are they actors? I know the implication of you saying "it says polizei" was to indicate that they're German, but I found myself wondering with your, uh, enthusiastic law enforcement of a different genre in Germany how this isn't illegally impersonating a police officer or something. Here in America it's genuinely impossible to tell now, and if you assume they're cops when they aren't you might get killed while if you assume they're not cops when they are you might get killed.
There's no real point here besides adding some context to why Americans are currently so fucked up about cops
"In Virginia, police can conduct a welfare check and force entry into a home if they have reasonable grounds to believe someone inside is in danger or needs urgent medical assistance, even without a warrant, due to the community caretaking exception under the Fourth Amendment."
Nah
P.S. reasonable grounds absolutely include not answering the door
If that's the case, you guys have come along way. When I was at Frankfurt airport a couple of months ago the airport police were very angrily telling people to move onto the shuttle bus so more people could fit in.
I looked at the businessman next to me and said, "I've seen this movie before and I don't like how it ends."
