INDIANAPOLIS -- Capitol Police in Indianapolis are investigating harassing phone calls and email messages to the Indiana Supreme Court following a recent contentious ruling regarding property rights.
Police won't say how many calls and messages have been received or whether they're addressed to a specific justice.
Court spokeswoman Kathryn Dolan told The Times of Munster the threats are mostly directed at police officers. Quantcast
The state's highest court ruled Thursday that Indiana residents have no right to resist police making an unlawful police entry into their homes.
In a 3-2 decision written by Justice Steven David, the court ruled that people confronted with an illegal police entry into their homes should allow entry and sue later for damages.
It said resisting entry increases the risk of escalating violence. The decision overturned centuries of common law.
"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 in the ruling.

If you want any support for your run at all you better the hell speak out on this ruling, and it better be soon.
I guess American citizens are ticked.
I though Mitch was already funded by muzzies.
Making threats is stupid. Remaining silent while taking action isn’t.
The decision of that court is so egregiously unconstitutional it should fall upon appeal.
Daniels can join the pack of Seppuku committing GOP Presidential Wannabes if he doesn’t speak out against this travesty.
THIS is what you get when you have a police state.
I guess the police can just start bashing down doors of the people suspected of making the phone calls now.

We must have patience.

I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!
So, in other words if Officer Friendly “just wants to ask you a few questions”, you HAVE to let him in your house? It’s still allowed to refuse to answer them, right?
That fact seems to have escaped the lofty minds of the jurice doctorates on the bench.
The ruling does the exact opposite of it's claim. It endangers cops. The notion that the cops asking to come in your home was ok to most because the process had to go thru judicial review prior to their request to enter and for exactly what they were there to search for. Now that that does not exist, there is no consent of those governed.
What's the 'modern' Fourth Amendment? The one I have was written back in the late 1700s? Is there a newer one I haven't heard about?
Warrant?
We ain’t got no warrant.
We don’t need no warrant.
I don’t have to show you any stinking warrant!
I do not care who you are. You break in my door, you are going to catch a face full of double barrel buckshot.
Remember, once the police enter your home, it’s a very short step to confiscating your firearms, since they may constitute a “threat” to these unlawfully entered police.
Make note of it. That is the next step on the slippery slope.
Heck, we rolled over on the TSA gropings, so why would the tyrants anticipate resistance to this the next step?
(Okay, we didn’t exactly roll over. We whipped out our...VIDEO CAMERAS!!! and “defended” our wives and children with them. /sarc)
I’d be ashamed for Indiana and America in general if there were no threats.
This ruling should be appealed immediately as it is in direct contradiction and opposition to the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution.
Daniels is Syrian.
Still, getting support from Zogby is not the way to Tea Party conservatism.
Yes, tyrants they are, and they should sleep like tyrants. Badly.
PS- Love your screen name. Ever notice that you never saw Cordelia and the fool together?
I volunteer to serve on the jury of anyone tried for threats and/or actions.
Can you say, “jury nullification”?
Yup, the sooner folks come to the self evidence conclusion that the police are not their friends, the better off and the safer they’ll be.
“The decision overturned centuries of common law.”
Oh, only about 800 years worth. Let’s just round that up to a millenium’s worth.
It has been quite obvious for some time now that this was going to happen. Leftist criminals (aka lawyers, judges and cops) are rejoicing everywhere.
Remember the Battle of Athens, TN.

Milquetoast Mitch doesn’t exactly look like a fighter.
Since when does a state court decide that the Bill of Rights no longer applies to citizens in that state? This would never happen in Texas.
Yep according to this ruling resistance is futile as the saying goes.
But it gets worse. How about a corrupt cop (and we know they are many). Say a corrupt cop eyes your daughter and decides he’s going to get some and comes knocking? You’re not allowed to resist, you have to let him in. I guess AFTER the girl is raped you get to take it to court.
Don’t think so. This ruling is actually going to CREATE violence not stop it.
Futhermore, this kind of ruling or action is exactly the same thing that kicked off the Revolution via the ‘Writs of Assistance’ vis a vis the Paxton Case (Writs of Assistance were illegal searches passed by Parliament in 1761, challenged by 63 Boston merchants led by a merchant named Paxton. John Adams would later call this case the “Birth of Independence”). Folks, history is repeating itself.
We either start rising up as one people fed up and will take no more, or our liberties are gone. It is too late for anything else, we have passed the rubicon. Who will lead us?
Can the justices be impeached, recalled, voted out in Indiana ?
He actively seeks support and supports muslims:
Governor’s Second Annual Iftar (Ramadan 2006)
September 25, 2006:: Indianapolis, Indiana: The Muslim Alliance of Indiana (MAI) helped organize the second Annual Governor Iftar at the residence of Governor Mitch Daniels on Monday, September 25, 2006. Gov. Mitch Daniels reached out to more than 150 Muslims from across the state Monday night, welcoming them to his official residence for Iftar (a meal to end their daily fasting during Ramadan).
Shortly after sunset, the Muslim call to prayer rang out over the home’s back garden in the voice of Henry Hane, an immigrant from Senegal. The Muslims followed that by breaking their daily fasts with dishes from three continents. Then they performed their ritual prayers in two tents in the backyard of the residence at 4750 N. Meridian St.
Daniels told the crowd, “All God’s people are equal in his eyes. I am glad to welcome you to this home. You should think of this as your home.” The audience of Muslims from every corner of the state embraced the hospitality and presented Daniels gifts ranging from books on Muslim sex education to a wooden box ornately decorated with calligraphy from Syria, which is home to Daniels’ ancestors.

I guess "modern" means "voided". Sort of what they've done with the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th amendments.
Not for long. This is all part of the grand red plan...
Well, he certainly does seem to have some strong smoke following him around. Thanks for the link/info.
buckshot? Is that the best you can do? How about something a little more permanent like 7.62x54r
you are 100% correct. I've always thought that all it's going to take is one former Ranger, Force Recon, SEAL or soldier with training to get killed or family member killed for someone to start "inviting" the police to raid their houses.
I'm pretty sure that if some donut munching, ninja, wannabe special operator wearing his little balaclava killed a family member of mine...................
I'd take them to court and find a really good lawyer for years of litigation and to insure the rights of the police are covered and he doesn't lose his pension or his worker's comp disability scam.
Cause violence is NEVER the answer.
Between this and the SCOTUS ruling, there is no doubt we live in a police state, governs by thugs n the right and the left.
“”Can the justices be impeached, recalled, voted out in Indiana ?””
I don’t know, but I guarantee there are a whole lot of us Hoosiers asking that exact question this week.
18.53 x ~25 seems to leave a rather large hole.
“How about something a little more permanent like 7.62x54r”
Not sure how good that would work in my shotgun.
If, after the fact it is determined to be a bad warrant, then sue the hell out of them. But when a warrant is actually being served how can anyone know with 100% certainty that it's bogus?
do not forget the 9th.
Iowegians did it.
through personal armor?
The Indiana Supreme Court only has five justices?
Sounds like it’s tailor made for wingnut decisions to me.
I wonder if the Indiana state attorney general took a position on this case, any time before this ruling; in the form of a brief weighing in on the case or in the form of a public statement?
At 'inside a modern habitation' range 00 buckshot is quite 'permanent', and very messy. Think of unloading a 20 round subgun magazine as a comparison, only you're doing it with only one shot...

Okay Mitch, this is a deal breaker, right here and now.
