Officer Enters Family’s Yard Without Warrant — City Pays $480K After Bodycam Review

The command arrives before context, clipped and final, landing where explanation usually goes. An officer steps off the stone path into the grass, eyes fixed on what’s in the man’s hands, not on the locked gate behind him.
Daniel Harper stands still in his own backyard, shoulders squared, voice level. He lowers the metal tongs with care, aligns them on the grill shelf, then opens his palms as if marking every inch for the record. Heat rolls up from the open lid. The officer’s tone shortens. Distance changes without moving closer. A radio clicks, then goes quiet.
No one raises their voice. No one names intent. Words like “trespass” and “comply” appear early, before they fit. A step crosses a line that looks invisible until it isn’t. The moment holds, unfinished, waiting to see what gets written down.
