If you'll look at this thread, you'll see several times that I said civil authority is legitimate if it follows God's laws

If the State commits a Trespass without a Biblically-valid reason to Commit the Trespass, then the State is violating God's Law against Trespassing.

Nor can you argue that "if the State says Private Intoxication is against the Law, it is not Trespassing, it's just enforcing the Law" -- for by the exact same token, "if the State says that a person is Unfit to Live, then it is not committing Murder, it's just enforcing the Law".

There is no biblical law that forbids enforcement of the law at a person's home. Do you think the old testament ordinances on blood sacrifices are still in existence?

Murder is against a commandment. There is no commandment against enforcement of the law at a person's home.
