A major decision that will impact Minnesotans’ privacy rights is waiting to be heard in the state’s court of Appeals.
It all started off simply enough. Jason and Jackie Wiebesick were a Golden Valley couple who lived in a duplex. One day, officials from the city approached them to ask permission to inspect their home. The stated reason was to collect information so as to make a decision over whether to renew the Wiebesick’s rental license.
Disturbed by the prospect of unfamiliar people walking around their home, the Wiebesick’s turned down the inspectors’ request. One might think it would have ended there, but the city saw to it that it didn’t.
Taking the case to court, Golden Valley authorities implored a county judge to issue a warrant overriding the Wiebesick’s objections and allowing them into the house. Tellingly, the judge refused their request for a warrant, prompting the city to reach even higher.

The fourth amendment is rather clear.
Demand in one hand and c**p in the other and see which hand fills up first.
I am a landlord and many times it is a tenant (usually in arrears) that calls for an inspection. They are in hopes something, anything will be found so they can justify their being late in rent. I had a recent incident like that and simply told the inspector that as soon as they had a court order in hand I would be glad to open my doors to them. They never came back.
Shoot them.when they try to enter. It’s our constitutional right to defend our property

So basically what the City is saying is that if you live within the city limits you have given them implied consent.
