They can’t do that when those laws don’t exist to begin with.
People are pretty protected. But now this issue:
E bikes have been surging the country, theft has increased as well. These bikes have a tracker in them.
It locates into a certain neighbourhood, later on it will be more precise.
But people can just deny entrance, so cops (along with the owner) can’t just go and look around.
Now, this is pretty digitalised eh, the tracker from a third party shows the bike is there. So the owner would really like it if they could just get the bike for him.
I would vote so that they can just go grab these bikes. Get it over with. Cops entering homes wouldn’t be bastards then.
Obvious issue: can just put a stolen bike in the neighborhood, have citizen give permission to look for the stolen bike quickly. They enter the house. Plant some evidence. Blablabla.
But still, I want e bikes to be promoted. Theft to be lowered. There need to be solutions.
Without artificial scarcity created by capitalism theft wouldn’t be a problem. Just let abundance of bikes and even if someone steals it you can always borrow another one.
Generally it would be when they choose to selectively enforce those laws to unjustly do things to people they don’t like.
If that doesn’t happen where you are, count yourself very, very lucky.

Belgium has 250k euros median net wealth. High minimum wage. High social mobility. Tax funded education from age 3 to end of higher education.
Cheap public transport.
The e bikes are paid by your taxes when you have a job.
Young guys steal because they like risk and lack respect
