Modern Fourth Amendment in a Police State


The Indiana Supreme Court doesn't give a goddamn about the US Constitution. They ruled that the police can enter your home without a warrant and you can't even try to stop them. Justice Steven David said:

"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."

Modern jurisprudence? What about 12th century English Magna Carta or 18th century US Constitution? Nine centuries of legal precedent just brushed aside by three government stooges? Public policy? What about individual rights? There's a reason that government thugs need to be afraid of busting into a man's castle. It keeps them just a little more honest.

The US is becoming a police state more and more each day. Hopefully the ACLU will have this ruling overturned. Sullivan, Shepard and David need to be shown the door in the next election.
