This doesn’t cancel the 4th amendment - although it surely is not friendly to the 4th amendment. They do encourage people to pursue legal action AFTER any arrests or seizures are made. They still acknowledge the 4th amendment here. (But I wish to repeat: They are TRYING to supercede it)

Right now, even outside of Indiana, if the police come knocking at my door, even forcefully - EVEN IN PLAIN CLOTHES - What am I to do ?

Do I start shooting ? Do I take them all down ? Do I run ? I’ll be caught ! I’ll be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and I do believe that killing a LEO carries a broader penalty across all states. Even armed with a 4th amendment - What do I do ? Politely ask them to leave ? Make them at gun point ?

Chances are, any of these options will see me zipped up in a body bag before nightfall. Even if I’m totally in the right - could be the most righteous kill in the world - I’m still not going to be able to resist a police raid with or without this new Indiana law.

Nothing has changed, sadly.

Much easier to CYA and obfuscate things AFTER the fact.

We need to stand up against this, NOW. Of all the other slippery slopes we've gone down, this one is a bad one.

Washington led the army out after the guys making untaxed whiskey and not paying the tax. Even shot a guy.

Now, did they have the 4th amendment on their side?
