INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana homeowners would have limited rights to resist police officers trying to enter their homes in a handful of instances under a bill that state legislators are considering.
A state Senate committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a bill that follows a public uproar over a state Supreme Court ruling in May that said homeowners cannot violently resist police officers even during an illegal entry.
The bill's sponsors said it is narrowly crafted to set out the rights of homeowners.

Still not far enough. I believe that unless it's a uniformed officer and they have very obvious probable cause, or it's two officers in uniform with a search warrant, then they can just stay the hell out until a supervisor comes.
Says a lot about the state of our nation when you have to fight for the “right” to resist an unlawful entry into your home or onto your property (or at least what appears to you to be unlawful) by purported “law enforcement officers.” We are further down the road into a police state than most people want to believe.
We are all little kiddi children of the state where corrupt cops can now come in, piss in your corner for territorial form and rape your kids with the rest of the sheeple made to believe it is not OK by law to resist that.

What do you know, they are your higher ranks, and your house is now cop barrak property. The higher the rank, the greater responsability they have, the more they know, they claim.
However, they can eat donuts and be fat and incapable of functional lives themselves in the meantime...
Yeah, we've really given up a lot over the years in our futile efforts to keep people from getting high.
And I'm sure someone will be around shortly to call me a dope-smoking Ron Paul supporter.
For the record, I'm neither.
Fast and furious was just the latest attempt and excuse used to erode our freedoms by the federal government.
The war on drugs was started for the exact same reason as f&f was IMHO.
YMMV.
Well, it’s all been posed as, “we have to take away your freedoms and rights to protect your freedom and rights...”
America either stands for something, which is a land of free people - or it doesn’t. And just saying the word ‘freedom’ don’t mean squat.
So, liberty or security? I’ll always take liberty - because there really is no such thing as security (i.e. we all die no matter how hard we try not to). Hell, prisons are supposedly “secure” and they are filled with drugs and rapes and murders. Security is just something the politicians try to sell to the sheeple.
“We are further down the road into a police state than most people want to believe.”
All of the requisite legislation and jurisprudential precedent
for a totalitarian state is in place. It just requires the will, the budget and the manpower. And popular complacency.
