APPEAL THAT DECISION
If this kind of takeover is NOT covered by the 3rd amendment then what is?
And give that smarmy defense attorney who called it a ‘red herring’ a good ass-beating
They should have used the 4th Amendment.
BTW, Josh Reid is indeed one of Dingy Harry’s offspring!
I tend to agree with the judge regarding the 3rd Amendment. The police aren’t really soldiers and I am not sure what they did counts as “quartering” which implies the soldiers living there.
That said, it seems like a gross violation of the 4th Amendment. In addition, I think the police probably committed multiple felonies against the residents.
If the police taking over your house for their use in a "stakeout" is not a violation of your constitutionally-enumerated 3rd Amendment rights, I don't know what is.
What is "unusual" about this?
We live in Upside-Down World.
