What ever happened to the country I grew up in?
That sounds like bad law.
Time to send this case to the USSC.
Time to disbar Steven David. He’s an enemy of the Constitution.
We have Republican RINO to thanks for this judge.
“Governor Mitch Daniels has made his first pick to the Indiana Supreme Court and it is Boone Co. Circuit Court Judge Steven David.”
Agreed. The US Constitution trumps that state in this issue.
BOOOOOOO SHIT !!!!
I’ve read this, very interesting. Based on what we know from the articles, IMO, the ruling should have centered around whether the entry was lawful. I’d say it was lawful entry as the police were in pursuit and had probable cause.
The disturbing part is the court attempted to redefine the 4th amendment with the ruling. I guess in Indiana now if someone knows the “password” police, you have to open your door. Wonder what they would think about looking at the business end of a Colt 1911 when the door opens?
Kiss my behind Indiana.

If this is appealed, I suspect it will be overturned.
Currently, if an LEO walks into your house uninvited, without a search warrant and finds, say, a bag of grass on your kitchen table and arrests you for possession, the case would be thrown out. No probable cause.
This is major.
"police were called to investigate a husband and wife arguing outside their apartment.
When the couple went back inside their apartment, the husband told police they were not needed and blocked the doorway so they could not enter"
If I were a cop I probably would consider this situation as an exigent circumstance, unless the wife came to the door to confirm.
The husbands beligerant actions would arise doubts as to his demeaner.
I wonder how it it was decided that this was an illegal entry considering the circumstances.
The ruling as a broad slash at the constitution however is just plain wrong!
A Democrat, no doubt.
This decision can NOT stand!
Yeah... no!
THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS
STILL IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS
and still prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures
and sets out requirements for search warrants based on
probable cause.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall
issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
I think they should call you on their cell phone and tell you they are at the front door.
That happened twice right before Mother's Day only it wasn't cops lol.
Bring a body bag with you, one of us is not walking out my house alive!
If an American is unwilling to stand against this blatant disregard for your fourth amendment protections placed in the Constitution specifically to restrain the government from abusing Americans, then what in the hell will you stand up for?
Seems like a great way to cover those “aw shit” moments when SWAT busts down the door.......at the wrong address.... >PS
They made the law, now try to enforce it.
