Breaking open door or window: Upon detention after making arrest.

Any person who has entered a house, structure or other place of concealment to make an arrest may break open a door or window if that is necessary to liberate himself or herself. An officer may do the same to liberate a person who, acting in the officer’s aid, entered to make an arrest and is detained inside. (Added to NRS by 1967, 1402; A 1983, 244)
