‘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.”…’
“Allowing” resistance?? Since when was it the business of judges to allow or disallow the exercise of a citizen’s rights? And here’s an idea–if the judges wish to avoid “unnecessarily escalating the level of violence”, then the best way to do that would be to insist that police officers abide by the fucking law!
These unelected elitist bastards are busily chipping away at ancient liberties and it’s time they were given a wake-up call.
