In North Carolina Cops Enter Home Without Warrant Claiming they smell weed My Life In the Chi A viral video shows North Carolina police enter a home without a warrant on April 8, claiming they had smelled marijuana. The home’s residents became upset about being violated and pandemonium ensued when the officers realized they were being recorded. Vera McGriff, who initially posted the viral video, said police came to her door and demanded to search the house. When she refused because the officer did not present a search warrant, eight cops barged in anyway and began terrorizing the household. “I told the officer, No you cannot come in my house without a search warrant. The officer put his foot at the bottom of the door and four of them bum rushed me …” After barging in without a warrant, Durham police claimed two of their officers were assaulted, but McGriff and the video tell a different story. “Everybody was tased, one officer hit my son in the face with his Glock 9, we were choked, kicked, thrown down on the floor,” McGriff stated, according to Opposing Views. When they arrived, police did not have a warrant at 10:30 pm. Only after they were already inside of the home, and had everyone detained, did they find a judge, returning with a warrant at 12:50 am. “We all sat in handcuffs for 4-5 hours while they waited for the search warrant,” McGriff wrote on Facebook. In the warrant, Officer J.M. Foster said he received information from another officer that Khadir Cherry was selling drugs, which was why he arrested him on April 4. Foster stated that he was just conducting a follow up investigation at the home of Cherry when he encountered Raynell Hall in the driveway and asked to talk to the homeowner, Vera McGriff. He stated that when Hall opened the door and walked inside, he smelled marijuana. He wrote in the warrant petition, “through my training and experience I know that the only thing that smells like marijuana is marijuana.” That’s when police decided to “seize the house” and conduct “safety sweep for suspect,” according to the petition for the warrant. Wil Glenn, a spokesperson for Durham police, explained why residents in the home were tasered:
