Your home is NOT your castle

[DrLeftover]

INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.



In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.



We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, David said. We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.

It's not going to stop people from resisting is it? People are still going to stop police from coming into their house.

Lucky for them I don't live there. My t-shirt says it all.

. Any police officer that wants to enter my home for no reason would be a sorry one if they tried anything. This is giving a police officer an open door to rape, steal or even kill a person for no reason. Anyone who thinks police officers are beyond this, needs to think again. There are good cops and there are very bad cops as well.

I swear we move closer into becoming a police state every day. Soon, there will be a day when we completely tear up the Constitution under the pretense of saving America. The thing is, the very destruction of what makes America what it is in fact ensuring the destruction of America. Then that will be the day when they won in fact they already won.

Strange what was once considered just a movie plot is becoming more and more thinkable with each passing day.

The idea's been about for ages though... Not too surprising either, no one ever seems to get what they want out of a government.

I'm wondering what happened to the Fourth Amendment....



I believe that one goes.....

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

So now the First is being restricted as far as free speech and assembly.



The Second is... well, we all know about that one.



The Fifth is being ignored whenever the alleged crime is against a child, or somebody uses the T word.



The Sixth is up for grabs given that a speedy trial can take over a year just to get on the schedule.



The Eighth depends on what you would consider Excessive bail. Me? I'd be lucky to raise a couple of hundred bucks.



And the Ninth and Tenth. Well, Congress just ignores them...

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.



The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Question: What would James Madison or somebody think of their Country today?
