First off the Police didn't know if they were dealing with two guys or 20! Secondly any home the came to the door of could have been rigged or a cell safe house. In a perfect world ALL your IDEALS could have worked but in a REAL world they did what they did to catch the guy. Its funny how ALL these internet mucho men come out and say "they wouldn't have done that to me" but I've researched it and not been able to find ONE instance where anyone in Boston refused the search.
