Sieg heil comrades!!!
Something about unlawful search and seizure comes to mind.
More deliberate disregard for the Constitution.
These warrantless searches will be the spark that sets the whole country on fire.
Either the Supreme Court recognizes the immense danger of such activities and moves quickly to quash them, or all hell is gonna break loose. Those of us who can read know exactly what the plain language of the Fourth Amendment says.
The local constabulary is going to attempt to search the wrong house and the welcome they receive will make news around the world.
Warrantless searches have been introduced three times in Washington state. It was yanked from new legislation just this week. As Rush pointed out, they continue to float the this trial balloon until it starts to gain momentun. It took 40 years for “gay rights” to be mainstreamed...they are taking the same long view on destruction of the Fourth Amendment. They are really going after the First, Second and Fourth now. With Obama’s massive downsizing of the military, there’s no need to go after the Third.
Any law enforcement office or other government agent that enters your home without a warrant or without your permission is a legitimate target.

Did you see this gem from the article?
Of course the bill does not apply to “government employees”.
I hate Oregon Nazis.
The Constitution? No, you see they are drafting this in tiny paragraphs so it doesn’t conflict with the Constitution. (Think Joe’s Garage)
The mask is really starting to come off.
The warrentless searches especially concern me, if I were an American. Conceivably, they could enter my home when I am not home and just totally ransack the place.
You, literally, could come home to a completely destroyed house and there would be nothing you could do about it. You wouldn’t even know whom was in your house and it likely wouldn’t be covered by insurance.

Can you say RULING CLASS?
As far as warrantless searches go, the Fourth Amendment protects homes from unreasonable searches generally requiring a warrant for such a search. Current law is that warrantless searches of a home are allowed only for certain exceptions: “exigent” circumstances (must have probable cause that a crime has been committed and that harm or escape will occur w/o immediate entry), consent, and certain limited applications of searches incident to arrest and “plain view” search.
Given their recent ruling which further eviscerates the 4th Amendment, it's quite likely that they would uphold this sort of legislation as well.
Are there any sane persons who’d want to be the policemen or sheriffs assigned to try to forcibly enter people’s homes and steal their guns?
Well, it would be interesting to see what language is in this proposed bill for warrantless searches of someone's home.
Current constitutional case law recognizes that the Fourth Amendment protects “houses” (homes) from “unreasonable searches” generally requiring a warrant for such a search. Warrantless searches of a home are allowed only for certain exceptions: 1)“exigent” circumstances (must have probable cause that a crime has been committed and that harm or escape will occur w/o immediate entry), 2)consent, and 3)certain limited applications of searches incident to arrest and “plain view” search.
“wouldn’t be covered by insurance”
I have my imsurance coverage by Ruger, Springfield and Smith & Wesson.
Its about time that we start collecting information about these marxist libtards so that when the time comes we will know where we can go to “talk” to them.
