The only proper response to a door knock is "come back with a warrant".
Rights are rights for a reason, don't let that shit erode any further.
The only proper response to a door knock is to not open the door.
If the fascist pigs have a warrant, they'll find their own way inside anyway. Otherwise, they can stay the fuck out.
That is fine while you have the rule of law and independent institutions to enforce those rights. When those institutions are eroded or facing the barrel of a gun then people's rights might as well he written on toilet paper.
You can't make up for a dysfunctional political system with demands for fictional rights.
People from one particular notable country always get the emphasis wrong in my opinion. Perhaps they are all brainwashed. They think the rights uphold their system when in truth it is the system that upholds the rights. It has kept them blind to the reforms needed to breathe life into a system that barely qualifies as a democracy by modern standards.
I'd also like to take this moment to remind how to handle a police interaction in the USA, in a one minute video described by a few lawyers: STFU Friday!
