Okay, but the ruling that you cannot resist a cop trying to unlawfully enter your house is plain wrong.

Remember, supposedly sober law clerks write these things.

This is a very in-artful way of saying that if you know the guy is a cop and he's not doing anything to you, whether or not he arrived at the place he's standing lawfully or unlawfully the laws say you simply can't beat on him.

However, it is so in-artful it is INARTICULATE in the extreme, and is clearly not something that was proofread by anyone. I think even the dissenters did little more than review the "notes" made by the majority.

Alcohol will do that to you ~ particularly if you drink on the job or at lunch. So will some common narcotics that are subject to abuse.

BTW, by the time he got around to pushing around the cop he'd already informed him that he had moved out! He didn't live there anymore. It wasn't his house.

I know that's a subtle distinction between having a residence and not having a residence, but there you have it.

It's an action that happens all at once ~ not like what happened to the nasty mouthed evil dwarf who is now Mayor of Chicago. They had him "easing out" of his residence yet they couldn't pin down a time where it happened or even where he'd become a new resident.

This case is different. You tell the cops "I'm outta' there" they are, presumably, allowed to act on that information. It's called "a reasonable expectation".
