Eileen asks: Can a constable enter your home in broad daylight when there is no suspected crime in progress? What if the door is ajar? Can he enter the house?

Only if the House is “a billiard, pool or sippio room, bowling alley, skating rink, the licensed premises of a common victualler or room connected therewith, or a grove required to be licensed under section one hundred and eighty-eight, or any building therein.”  Under MGL chapter 140, section 201, a Constable may Enter any of these places “at any time . . . for the purpose of enforcing the law.”
