This morning I received multiple links and copies of this video that’s been circulating, showing a West Virginia State Trooper, in what appears to be inside a family’s home without a warrant. Apparently it was originally posted to Tik Tok, and then removed for some reason. It appears to involve a police response to a church traffic cone, which resulted in the homeowner apparently banging on the church’s door at some point. This trooper shows up, walks in the guy’s home, admittedly without a warrant, and without permission. Then the trooper makes a move on the phone, followed by some sort of altercation at the end. Here’s the video, then I’ll address some legal issues which I see.
Is a warrant required? If not, is there an applicable exception?

Home invasion, trespass, felony assault, abuse of power. Probably more.
"Im also recording"
"Wheres your recording device"
"Butthole"
Would you shake my hand? The guy bursts into your house disrespects you slaps you around yells at your wife and you wanna shake his hand? What kinda beta dude is this?
WV State Police appear to be the most corrupt law enforcement agency in the country.
Oh, big bad Officer Cousinf**ker there needs a little attitude adjustment.
He's on steroids.
Isn't following someone into thier house illegally what most people would call "something you could be shot for"
Edit: "something you could be shot for… Legally"
can the trooper enter the home without a warrant, yes he did it, can you sue him I dont know, can you afford to sue him, can you fight a city using your tax dollars against you. is he part of some taskforce for the federal government. way to complicated.
100% psycho
He will learn not to disturb a church.
Well, it’s just West Virginia, so…
That officer is clearly out of line, very scary
I can tell he is uneducated to many things and he is a bully with a gun who the hell hired this tyrant there’s no way the ass should be an officer this is a killing waiting with taxpayer money paying for his arrogant and ego
Here is my question especially living in FL. If an officer forces his way into your home with no warrant ryme or reason to be in your home couldn't you technically defend yourself and be in the right?
Saying "cops get shot everyday" and then following a man into his home illegally (which you presumed could shoot you and rather then evade danger you go looking for it) and then assualting him is absurd.
Any updates on this case?
Why does the job attract so many sociopaths?
His name is Rick Wiseman and this pu*syboy was fired.
wasn't that sam brinson?
I pray this p.o.s cop get held accountable i had this happen so meany time in florida cops think they are gods i hope they hold this clown accountable
This man is a danger to his community
The guy raised his voice , so full assault and battery while screaming was somehow justified? More like this guy thinks IA and the corrupt wv state police management will stall, lie and bully this until it goes away. Just Like they always do. I really hope this cop loses his qualified immunity.
Why is that person even allowed to be a police officer. He is absolutely mentally unstable and lieing tyrant
