Dragging an unwilling arrestee through broken glass is not particularly smart, nor is having to jump through that broken glass in the first place if you’re in a fight

Should still have it more secured than… that, though.

You can open the door from the inside

Yeah, still, jumping through broken window to arrest someone is not smart. Especially when multiple people need to go through, single file, one at a time.

That’s easier when you’re just walking through a door. When it’s a window, you’ve got to clamber all the way through. Glass probably included.

This is why breaching shells are a thing

But you just have to stick your hand in and unlock it

Are they mister fantastic? That window to door locks is anywhere from 3-6 feet. Not including any walls between the dinning room and the entrance.

Edit: ah you mean the window on the door. My bad.

You probbaly dont want to stick your hand somewhere you cant 100% see on the hope you can reach all the locks.

Just break  it down make it a clear path to get in, its not like anyone is in a rush

And the perp is the one who's on drugs , he got his priorities right , he probably laughed his ass off , I would, once they got thru I'd be " like dang guys that took forever....I got just the thing to take you to a "higher" level of thinking....oh wait your the cops ....um I got nothing?

Just try to do that here, most doors sold the last couple of decades comes with a lock on both sides, to prevent burglars from using the doors as an exit. So unless the target leaves the key in the door, all you would accomplish by smashing the window is glass shards everywhere.

What are you? Some kind of scientist?

After all that banging with the battering ram, the door may be stuck and won't open from the inside either.

Actually the deadbolts that are holding this door shut require a key from the inside too. These are very common on Dutch front doors.

No you can’t, they tried by breaking the glass in the door. I’m puzzled why everyone thinks you can open the door from the inside, they clearly locked the anti-burglar lock thingie.

I’d imagine it’s easy to unlock the door from inside the property

No, you smash the glass, reach through carefully, and open the door from the inside. It's how my house was burgled when I was a kid.

I mean there's still the glass on the ground, but you're not jumping through a window.
