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.
Badges?
We ain’t got no badges.
We don’t need no badges.
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.
