If the police are to visit someone's house for a questioning, a raid or to serve a warrant, do they jam the signal to their video doorbell so that the suspect monitoring the doorbell with their smartphone doesn't get tipped off about the cops' presence this way?

 

If the police are to visit someone's house for a questioning, a raid or to serve a warrant, do they jam the signal to their video doorbell so that the suspect monitoring the doorbell with their smartphone doesn't get tipped off about the cops' presence this way?

If the suspect is not home for whatever reason, and they see that cops are at the door through their video doorbell's camera feed, they may stay somewhere else until the cops go away, or flee the area and disappear from the law.

Or if they're home, and for example, they have to get rid of their drugs, they flush them down the toilet as soon as they see cops on the video feed before they answer their door.

So do you jam their video doorbell's signal when you get to their door?

Or do you let yourselves be seen on their video doorbell?

Also, if their voice comes on the speaker and says "I'm not home, what do you need?" What is your response right then?

If you're wondering "Why are YOU worried about this?" Great question; it's because I, a member of the Anti-Trump Establishment, am paranoid that Trump will soon dismantle democracy and make criticizing and dissing him a criminal offense, even retroactively. I've already posted criticisms of him on social media, so that could be why the cops will someday pick me up, along with millions of other outspoken anti-Trump citizens.

Even though I'll gladly go to jail for dissing and criticizing our idiot president, since Democratic employers will be MORE likely to hire me due to seeing THAT on my criminal record, I'll likely drive somewhere else if I see through my doorbell's video feed that the cops show up at my apartment for this reason, while I'm away from home.

No.

Also I think the last two paragraphs are unnecessary. I'm not a Trump fan either, but it's irrelevant to your question.

Good video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nno8ejpi7g

The bigger concern would be that many of the video doorbells that store footage in the cloud can give access to law enforcement without a warrant and without notifying you, per their terms of service. Use cameras that are hardwired and records to local storage that you own, not the cloud.

I believe burglars have been known to jam WIFI cameras before.
