Indiana Supreme Court declares resisting unlawful police entry... illegal

Don't worry, I'm not one to constantly give police a hard time. As a matter of fact, it isn't even their fault, this time. I think.


So, yesterday, the Indiana Supreme Court passed a move that defies the very US constitution itself, you know, the one piece of text that reads "The right of the people to be secure in their houses shall not be violated". Quoting Justice Steven David, 


"a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. 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".

Basically, "ain't no need for a warrant no mo": police officers can enter anyone's house as they god damn please, and any resistance shall be declared illegal. Now, Indiana citizens can complain about it, only afterwards. After their whole house has been possibly ransacked. Because, you see, resisting would cause "unnecessary violence".


Let's just hope Indiana doesn't have the kind of charming police officers I talked about in my last post, heh.
