Can they kick open your door for a child support warrant in Missouri?

If it's an arrest warrant, sure. Doesn't matter what it's for, though it sounds more like a bench warrant for contempt of court, when someone failed to show for a hearing on overdue child support.

What type of charge can you file on the police if they damage your door by trying to break in but the arrest warrant was not a felony?
An arrest warrant is an arrest warrant, they can kick your door down whether it's a misdemeanour or a felony.
Do you have to open the door to police officers?
NO NO, but if they do have probable cause, they'll kick the door in. Probable cause does not always involve a piece of paper.............like a warrant. If you lock the door, after they speak to you, you can be charged with obstructing and delaying, if they had probable cause.
If the cop has a warrant that haven't been sign by a judge is that legal?
no it is not, but be aware that if your door is open,even a screen door, it is legal for them to just walk inside warrant or not
Can the police knock on your door and arrest you if you have a warrant for contempt of court?
Of course they can. That's what a warrant is issued for - to take you into custody.
Are the police allowed to simply walk into a house if they don't get an answer after knocking the door?
It depends. On one hand, if a child or nonresident answers the door and (surprise!) it's the police, they will generally give the door answerer a chance to bring the resident to the door. On the other hand, if there is a warrant for the resident's arrest or there is reasonable doubt, this etiquette goes away. They are required to make the warrant arrest when they come in contact with the perpetrator. Reasonable doubt would be something like if the officer saw drug paraphernalia and contraband sitting on the end table next to the door. This is also when they will enter whether they have permission or not, make their arrests, and do their questioning, possibly of everyone (excluding minors) who is in the residency at that time.
Will you be notified of a warrant?
No, individuals are typically not notified directly about the issuance of a warrant. Law enforcement may attempt to apprehend you if you have an outstanding warrant, but there is no direct notification process. It is advisable to address any legal issues promptly to avoid complications.
Do you need a search warrant for a basement that has a different outside door?
Unless it is divided into apartments or seperately rented rooms, a search warrant is generally good for an ENTIRE premises.
If you have no arrest warrant can cops enter your room even when the door is locked?
Only if you have been "dimed" out for having contraband--drugs or stolen items--in your room and a search warrant is being executed.
How do you make your child lock button on the door stay unlocked?
Take te child lock off of the door
Can the police break down the door at your house for a felony probation violation warrant?
Yes, you are wanted for a FELONY!
Can the police enter a home with an arrest warrant with only a minor present?
So long as they give proper time for the door to be answered (depends on the state), then yes.
Does a person have to answer his or her door when a police officer knocks?
No, they may not forcibly enter your home without a warrant. Let's say your music is too loud and they come over and knock at your door, you do not have to answer the door. It might be a good idea to turn down your music as to quicken their leave, but you are not required to answer regardless.
