The Indiana Supreme Court ruled Friday (PDF) that state residents have no right to resist an illegal police entry, overturning a Common Law that dates back to the English Magna Carta of 1215.

"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 wrote, according to the Northwest Indiana Times. "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."
He said persons arrested after an illegal police entry are still entitled to post bail and can seek remedies through the legal system.
The ruling stems from a case involving an argument between a husband and wife that took place outside of their apartment, the report said. When police arrived, they both went back inside and the husband told officers they weren't needed.
When one officer tried to enter the apartment the husband attempted to block him. An officer entered anyway and the husband then shoved him against a wall, prompting a second officer to use a stun gun on the husband and arrest him.
Ivan Bodensteiner, a professor at the Valparaiso University School of Law, said he agreed with the court's decision, the report said.
"It's not surprising that they would say there's no right to beat the hell out of the officer," he told the paper. "(The court is saying) we would rather opt on the side of saying if the police act wrongfully in entering your house your remedy is under law, to bring a civil action against the officer."
- In the past, when a family dispute or anything else for that matter, occurs, the police can enter without a warrant, especially in situations like mentioned above. No law is needed here, and it opens the door for the Gestapo to enter and do whatever they wish. Welcome to Nazi America!

| Death of the Constitution |
- Like we've said before, the Constitution is not worth the paper and ink it's written with, and now, the Gestapo and corrupt government can do anything they want!
"In my view the majority sweeps with far too broad a brush by essentially telling Indiana citizens that government agents may now enter their homes illegally -- that is, without the necessity of a warrant, consent or exigent circumstances. I disagree," Rucker wrote, according to the report.
Is it just me...or is that completely stupid? How can the Supreme Court rule an "illegal" action legal and continue to call it and "illegal" action?
