INDIANAPOLIS—Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.
In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.
“We believe … a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,” David said. “We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”
David said a person arrested following an unlawful entry by police still can be released on bail and has plenty of opportunities to protest the illegal entry through the court system.
It doesn’t matter that gas prices and unemployment is out of control. Unconstitutional gun control measures shouldn’t concern you. Even taking your Second Amendment rights without due process should not worry you.
The fact that the FDA can come in and round up your food stores or that you may now be denied medical treatment because you aren’t worth saving.
Don’t worry that your kids are being taught fables as scientific fact, such as global warming and evolution. And these same people, such as the Sierra Club, are pushing for wind generators that kill wildlife, burn down and leave recyclable material behind, and do not produce the power they promise.
