There’s a reaaaaaally thin line between (sincere) “We’re so worried about you, can we come in and chat?” and (menacing, oppressive) “We’re so worried about you, can we come in and chat?”.

And there’s a really thin line between having the choice to answer your door, and being compelled to for no legitimate reason.

Less menacing than either would be "can you come out to chat", or better yet, "come to the door to chat".

I'd let concerned EMTs into my house, but I'd rather keep concerned cops out.
