05/16/2011 8:46:27 AM PDT · by SeekAndFind Hotair ^ | 05/16/2011 | Bruce McQuainNo, you read it right. ThatÂ’s what the Indiana Supreme Court decided in what would be a laughable finding if it wasnÂ’t so serious: 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. The author of the story reporting this is right – somehow the ISC managed, in one fell swoop, to overturn almost 900 years of precedent, going back to the Magna Carta. In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if... |

As of Thursday, that’s no longer true in Indiana. AP (“Court: No right to resist unlawful police entry“): People have no right to resist if police officers illegally enter their home, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in a decision that overturns centuries of common law. The court issued its 3-2 ruling on Thursday, contending that allowing residents to resist officers... |

The court issued its 3-2 ruling on Thursday, contending that allowing residents to resist officers who enter their homes without any right would increase the risk of violent confrontation. If police enter a home illegally, the courts are the proper place to protest it, Justice Steven David said.

Do the police at least have to have a warrant?
It was to be expected, after we’ve suffered through the Illegal invasion of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
We don’t need no stinkin’ warrants!
When is this shitheads term up? I will gladly help show him the street.
Man, you'd hope so, but unlawful is a very broad brush to be sure.
RE: Do the police at least have to have a warrant?
They do and should, but this report tells us that EVEN IF THEY DON’T, no one can resist UNLAWFUL entry.
The Courts were supposed to protect ordinary citizens from tyranical acts like these. This is just one of the dominoes that are slowly falling.
‘Public policy’ not to escalate violence is their story? This is pure circular social justice type reasoning, not constitutional law. I’d argue that the lack of police deterrent that’s been created is going to escalate these kinds of incidents as cops now know they can act with impunity. Violence is escalated when cops act illegally, meeting violence with the appropriate application of force ends and deters violence, not escalates it.
The other part is that the court is giving up it’s own authority. Why would you tell the cops that they don’t have to come to you any more to be able to enter someone’s home? Cutting off your nose to spite your face.
RE: When is this shitheads term up? I will gladly help show him the street.
And what if they insist, and refuse to leave?
Sounds like Nazi Germany! Is this one going to the SCOTUS?
Guess I won’t be moving to Indiana if that is how they treat their residents.
RE: Is this one going to the SCOTUS?
Someone in Indiana ought to challenge this ruling as a violation of the US Constitution. If Mitch Daniels had any balls, he ought to start the process.
I hasten to add though, that we are hanging by a slim thread EVEN in our SCOTUS. everything depends on which side of the bed Justice Kennedy happens to wake up on in the morning.
Countdown till (police uniforms are stolen from dry cleaners) fresh round of home invasions begin in 3....2...
I may be confused on this issue, but I don’t recall that common law authorized violent resistance to unauthorized entry by an officer of the law.
The court’s decision is not about whether the entry is legal or not, but about how the illegal entry can be legally resisted.
see fourth amendment
castle doctrine
(even the quartering act)
no government official, in any form, can just enter without a warrent.
Gee Whillakers! They're just 'modernizing' EVERYTHING these days, aren't they?! And golly, now that we have a genuine SAVIOR in the White house, and we KNOW we can rely on the government at ALL levels to look out for us, and take good care of us no matter WHAT, we don't need that out-dated 4th Amendment any more anyway!
And for those who disagree, wouldn't you feel just TERRIBLE if some of those nice, honest, hard-working government officials who only want what's best for YOU and me were to get hurt or killed just trying to do their job making us feel safe? I mean, shucks, no dusty old 'Constitution' with its fancy words and its unnecessary 'Amendments' could POSSIBLY be worth all THAT!
