Does this look like the police to you?

House to house search. Town on lock down. Been hearing those words a lot lately. Can't leave your home or be put under arrest. In this house to house search, what happens if you decline to have your house searched? Is this the new no knock warrant? The last time I checked it was not legal for the police to enter your house against your will without a warrant, to search for killers, or any other kind of contraband. The residents of the small town of Valley Springs California were subjected to house to house search for the killer   of an 8 year old girl, stabbed to death with a knife during a home invasion. Granted this is a horrible crime that should never have happened, but should it place the entire town under lock down while the police go house to house? This is a rural area, woods, fields, barns. Did this capture the Boston Marathon bomber? No it did not. The owner of the house came outside after the police said it was ok to come out and spotted blood on his boat and investigated. Did the lock down cost the city millions of dollars? Yes it did, the whole city was put on hold while they searched house to house. And now this town. I've no doubt that is was done here because they saw it on tv in Boston.  I am left to wonder if this will now be the norm. As I stated it was a horrible thing for the poor girl and her family, but a stabbing is in no way a crime of the magnitude of the Boston Marathon bombing. Maybe next time I hear of it it will be for a hit and run. Could this be considered marshall law? And will conducting a house to house catch the killer this time? If your dog senses aggression from them and begins to bark or growl, will it be shot? I'll end this post with the reason I'm putting it out there for you to see. I do not like the direction these searches are going because I think it will lead to a further erosion of our privacy and it is of my opinion that our privacy has been infringed upon enough as it is.
