Cops can’t enter your home without a warrant, exigent circumstances, or your consent, which means cops can’t arrest you without the same, maneuver you into a position to provoke you into resisting or “assaulting” them, or detain you in hopes that you’ll talk to them to get out of it. The door is a very clear legal and physical barrier to keep any interaction on your terms.
