Unfortunately, the 3A wouldn’t apply here. Back in 2011 some Nevada police simply took over a guy’s house. The cops wanted to use the house for surveillance. The guy objected. Too bad, said the police.

The guy sued the cops in federal court, on 3A grounds. He lost. The judge said that the 3A applies to soldiers, and only to soldiers.
