The Mitchell family’s claim includes Third Amendment violations, a rare claim in the United States. The Third Amendment prohibits quartering soldiers in citizens’ homes in times of peace without the consent of the owner.

Worley told plaintiff that police needed to occupy his home in order to gain a ‘tactical advantage’ against the occupant of the neighboring house. Anthony Mitchell told the officer that he did not want to become involved and that he did not want police to enter his residence.

Mitchell claims that defendant officers, including Cawthorn and Worley and Sgt. Michael Waller then “conspired among themselves to force Anthony Mitchell out of his residence and to occupy his home for their own use.”

The complaint continues: “Defendant Officer David Cawthorn outlined the defendants’ plan in his official report: ‘It was determined to move to 367 Evening Side and attempt to contact Mitchell. If Mitchell answered the door he would be asked to leave. If he refused to leave he would be arrested for Obstructing a Police Officer. If Mitchell refused to answer the door, force entry would be made and Mitchell would be arrested.’”

Larry Klayman: This Government, Under Obama, Is Seeking To Enslave Us

6/24/13 - Larry Klayman warns that if they courts don’t stop Obama’s efforts to enslave America by ruling in favor of his lawsuits, then it will lead to armed rebellion.
By the definition these knuckleheads have refusing to give an officer a statement would be "obstruction" and that has never been the law.
Once the cops started beating on the guys door you have to believe all that “tactical advantage” with respect to the neighbor went out the window. Sounds like Secret Sam turned the whole thing into a grudge match and at a minimum he’s going to get to fix the guys door, maybe personally, if he was working outside his department’s rules. And you know the cops were videoing the whole thing. This is worse than a “wrong house” incident-—this is intentionally the wrong house.
