They ruled that EVEN IF the entry had been illegal, the perp does not have the right to decide that, and commit a battery on the LEO in the hope the entry would later be found to be illegal.

So now if police illegally enter the home of any law abiding person in Indiana, it's against the law for him to resist.

Do you support this ruling?

Support ruling? Of course I do

Stop and think this through. Cops arrive and enter due to one of many reasons they can legally enter without warrant

Homeowner thinks entry so he starts fight with cops. Even worse, he produces legally owned firearm and starts shooting. Cops shoot back. In end 2-3 people dead.

As court held, there is now sufficient redress for an illegal entry. 3am, after a dozen beers is not the time to decide whether or not the entry is legal.

Make that “homeowner thinks (incorrectly as in this case,or even correctly) that entry is illegal”
