The guy was on his way out ~ they were breaking up. If I follow this right when she gave him that last bag of his "stuff" that was it ~ gone ~ fine'.
It was LAWFUL. What was unlawful was when the guy pushed the cop.
He appealed his conviction and then a bunch of whacked out inebriated or intoxicated judges got hold of it and did funny stuff with it. Bet there's some skid marks on the backside of the last page!
Okay, but the ruling that you cannot resist a cop trying to unlawfully enter your house is plain wrong.
