Milwaukee police who forced their way into a gun rights advocate's home without a warrant, took her for an emergency mental evaluation and seized her gun were justified under the circumstances and protected from her civil rights claims, a federal appeals court has ruled.
"The intrusions upon Sutterfield's privacy were profound," Judge Ilana Rovner wrote for three-judge panel. "At the core of the privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment is the right to be let alone in one's home."
But the court also found, that on the other hand, "There is no suggestion that (police) acted for any reason other than to protect Sutterfield from harm."

This is how the Soviet Union did it, declared dissidents mentally deficient.
So did the Nazi’s
If she appeals, she'll win.
Wow! Must be a DimoKKKRAT judge.
You could be right. Now, who funds the woman’s fight?
The government can spend all it wants, and you as a citizen have to cough up the cash to keep defending your rights.
It really sucks!
Things probably will not get better until that starts happening to a few of our robed masters.
I hate that I notice this, and I HATE that it’s true, but women judges are one of our worst enemies.
Rovner’s parents came here from Latvia to escape Nazism. And she’s been working to bring Nazism here since 1992? Some of the worst RINOs are in the federal court system, and this Bush 41 appointee is more than exemplary of same.

The facts as presented in this article indicate that she is nuts.
When the cops are at your door to take you for a psyche eval - do not call 911. It really won’t help.
That is one way to see it.
Here is another way.
"How were the officers to know that Sutterfield (fill in this blank with the name of who concerns you for the moment) was competent to assess the state of her his own mental health or that, regardless of what she herself he said, there was no longer any risk that she he might harm herself himself?" the court wrote.
This decision was from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. She will now have to try to get it heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
I'm pretty sure the local Peasants of Liberty group would argue that the arrival of police put Sutterfield directly in harm's way.
And her little dog, too. And her 93-year-old grandmother...
Wrong.
