So this court is ruling that the purpose of the invasion is the difference between having to get a warrant to enter and just busting in and taking over??
If the cops want to arrest someone they must get a warrant.
If they just want to use your property they can just bust in.
Is it time yet?
I wonder what the judge will think about evidence found during the warrant-less entry to the premises.
Yup, that seems to be his attitude: a search needs a warrant, but the cops can just come into your house and use it as a command center or sniper nest whenever they feel like it.
Maybe on appeal some judge can find some of those “penumbrae emanating from” bits of the Constitution and rule that the Third and Fourth Amendments taken together prevent this kind of thing, but I’m not hopeful.
In answer to your last question, let’s see how this goes on appeal and how the 2016 election goes.
That is clearly a State function. The feds should have nothing to do with it.
