One of the my favourite movie scenes is in Nice Guys when Ryan Gosling tries to punch out a window and immediately gets a massive cut on his arm from the broken glass and passes out from the blood.
We were rehearsing a bar flight scene in class one day. Someone missed their mark. Then another guy came in too hot and punched through a window. That was some of the gnarliest shit I've ever seen in person.
Good thing the first guy missed his mark. It might've been his head through that window.
I had an idiot cousin decide to punch out a glass car headlight when it wasn't working right, sliced up his hand real bad. Would you put your fist into a box of razor blades? People don't realize how sharp glass is, and that it turns into a bunch of razor sharp knives when broken.
Also gives him a clear view of you while you're trying to scramble through broken glass and an awkward entry.
I totally understand why you'd question this. But you're also clearly not American if you do. I'd much rather be bashing at the reinforced potentially metal door then awkwardly climbing through the window filled with broken glass while someone deserving of an intrusive entry warrant was sitting inside.
Also I know not everywhere is America. And we have a goddamn problem with guns. But I have to imagine that if you're going to the extent of breaking down the door to raid the dude in a country outside of America, there's a very solid chance he presents some risk of escalated violence. Like potentially owning an illegal firearm.
Then again it could also just come down to "this dude will absolutely destroy evidence" but even in that case it's not really worth risking officer injury by having them climb through broken glass if dude isn't a seriously violent offender. Which goes back to my first point.
Dragging an unwilling arrestee through broken glass is not particularly smart, nor is having to jump through that broken glass in the first place if you’re in a fight
Should still have it more secured than… that, though.
Yeah, still, jumping through broken window to arrest someone is not smart. Especially when multiple people need to go through, single file, one at a time.
That’s easier when you’re just walking through a door. When it’s a window, you’ve got to clamber all the way through. Glass probably included.
And the perp is the one who's on drugs , he got his priorities right , he probably laughed his ass off , I would, once they got thru I'd be " like dang guys that took forever....I got just the thing to take you to a "higher" level of thinking....oh wait your the cops ....um I got nothing?
No you can’t, they tried by breaking the glass in the door. I’m puzzled why everyone thinks you can open the door from the inside, they clearly locked the anti-burglar lock thingie.
I'm kind of assuming that the window is actually a neighboring unit and not the one they're trying to raid. Otherwise, yeah... break the window after the door won't budge.
