blackwhite- The ability to accept whatever “truth” the party puts out, no matter how absurd it may be. Orwell described it as “...loyal willingness to say black is white when party discipline demands this. It also means the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know black is white, and forget that one has ever believed the contrary.”
crimestop -: “The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.
malreported - When the Times reports a fact which the government later deemed untrue. You see, the government is never “wrong”, the paper merely reported the facts incorrectly.
Thinkpol - ThoughtPolice. Police force in charge of eliminating crimethink. The thought police monitor the public by way of spies (narcs), helicopters, and telescreens.
ungood - Bad.
That is all. await further instructions.
If it is that easy to fine, do me a favor and just post it again here.
From what I read in the articles on this, it looks like the court made bad law when the facts probably gave the police probably cause to enter (because the parties actually called the police in a domestic dispute). The court then went way too far saying that if the police enter unlawfully, there is no self-defence afforded to the homeowner (they have to go to court about it after they are dead).
Here is what a law professor said about it:
Ivan Bodensteiner, a professor at the Valparaiso University School of Law, said:
Bodensteiner said the decision doesn't really give police the power to enter anyone’s home illegally it simply states that if they do, the resident must turn to the courts for relief.
That is not acceptable.
It's not that the "couple" called the cops. The guy had moved out. The woman called the cops. Her rights under American law are paramount in this or any other similar case. Only under Shariah law would her request for help be totally ignored in the development of the case.
To that degree this case is important ~ otherwise it's just another piece of BS churned out by incompetent judges who can't follow simple logic, or link decisions to the cases they hear.
If you are a lawyer you can find the case quite readily. First, search for "Indiana" on FR.
