Objection, non-responsive. (Also, assumes a shitload of [alleged] facts that are not in evidence.)
But for the sake of argument, let's go ahead and assume that there was "at least one UC buy from the location, multiple informant buys from the location, and surveillance of foot and motor vehicle traffic." That's a considerable expenditure of department resources, and would provide probable cause for not only a search warrant, but also an arrest warrant.
Why wouldn't HPD simply wait for Tuttle to go to HEB, or to take his wife to the doctor for cancer treatment, or to walk his dog, etc. to place him under arrest, and then search the house?
Your alleged facts, even if they are all true, do not constitute exigent circumstances or provide a reasonable justification for busting down the front door.
It sounds like it could have been handled differently and in a much safer manner that wouldn't have unnecessarily put lives at risk.
