A pair of criminal lawyers say that RCMP officers overstepped their bounds when they entered a Mount Moriah, N.L. "What seems to have happened here is that the police simply took the easy way, took the law into their own hands and completely disregarded their constitutional obligations." Two RCMP officers had entered the house through an unlocked door looking for a missing 17-year-old girl, Pike said, and questioned her 11-year-old daughter while shining a flashlight in her face. Cortney Pike stands inside the frame of the door of her home, where she says two RCMP officers entered unannounced around 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning.
